Thank you soo much for your replies friends. Can you plz explain me how can i solve this problem. Coz i dont know the method to solve this. plz help me by solving this step wise.

First multiply all the averages with their respective numbers. Then add both the products of 5 students and 9 students and deduct it from the product of 15 students 15*15 - (5*14+9*6)
2. average of 10 studnts- 20 avg of 12 studnts- 22 total age of 10 stdnts- 10*20=200 total age of 12 stdnts- 12*22=264 total age of 2 new stdnts = 264-200= 64 Avg age of 2 new stdnts = 64/2=32
3. Total of 5 qts- 5*6=30 total of 3 qts- 3*8=24 total of remaining 2 qts- 30-24=6 avg of rem. Two = 6/2= 3

Study  any school book of  Arithmatic for 'Averages' problems .

Prabhakar sir thanks for your advice.....But in our state we dont have statistics subject at school level. It will be introduced at graduation level. thats why m getting problem to solve problems from this subject.
