info ;-
5 people have an average age of 34 in 2009..
One person goes out and joins back, so does not effect or result in any change..
the oldest person dies in 2012 at age of 55
so he would have been 52 in 2009..
so average of REMAINING four A,C,D,E is \(\frac{34*5-52}{4} = \frac{170-52}{4}=\frac{118}{4}=29.5\)
so their average age in 2016 becomes 29.5+7=36.5
a new person F comes and now we have to find the average which is \(\frac{F+4*36.5}{5}\)
so WHAT is required..
AGE of F
(1) E was 24 years old as on 1st January 2010.
not required and age of F is not given
Insuff
(2) F was 23 years old as on 1st January 2010.
YES as can be seen by explanation above
new average = \(\frac{36.5*4+(23+6)}{5}=\frac{146+29}{5}=\frac{175}{5}=35\)

Members: A, B, C, D, E
B: die and it's not counted in the new average
E: leave and then go back with his wife, who counts in the average
-The text give information of the effect of the death of B in the average
-E has not effect because he just leave and go back,
-To answer the questions we need information about the effect to count "F" the wife in the average
(1) E was 24 years old as on 1st January 2010. No effect, not enough. Eliminate A,D
(2) F was 23 years old as on 1st January 2010. It's waht we need
