    A 15 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 13.6 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 16.5 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 14 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Total age of 20 girls = 20 × 15 = 300 years Total age of 25 girls = 300 + (5 × 10) = 300 + 50 = 350 years Therefore new average age = 350/25 = 14 years
