Correct Answer: 95 years
Solution : Let the average age of 15 members of a committee be $x$. The sum of ages of 15 members = $15x$ New average age = $x+4$ New sum of ages = $15(x+4) = 15x+60$ Let $y$ be the average age of 2 new members. $15x-60-70+2y = 15x+60$ $⇒2y = 60 + 60 +70$ $\therefore y = \frac{190}{2} = 95$ Hence, the correct answer is 95 years.
