In colony A, there are 12 houses with an average of 4 members per house, while in colony B, there are 20 houses with an average of Y members per house. If the two colonies together have an average of 3.5 members per house, find Y.

(A) 3.2
(B) 3.6
(C) 4.8
(D) 5.4
(E) 6.2

Total number of members in colony A = 12 * 4 = 48
Total number of members in colony B = 20 * y = 20y
Total number of houses = 12 + 20 = 32
So, \(\frac{48 + 20y}{32} = 3.5\)
\(48 + 20y = 112\)
\(20y = 64\)
\(y = 3.2\), IMO (A)
