Correct Answer: (y + 2) years
Solution : The average age of eight girls = y years Ages of 5 new girls = y + 3, y – 6, y + 15, y + 8, y + 6 New average = $\frac{\text{Sum of all ages}}{\text{Total number of girls}}$ The sum of the ages of the eight girls = 8y The sum of the ages of the new girls = (5y + 26) Therefore, the sum of the ages of all 13 girls after the new girls join = 8y + 5y + 26 = 13y + 26 The total number of girls in the class is = 8 + 5 = 13 Using the formula, New average = $\frac{\text{Sum of all ages}}{\text{Total number of girls}}=\frac{13\text{y} + 26}{13}= \text{y}+ 2$ Hence, the correct answer is y + 2 years.
