C) 22 D) None of these
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 20

It is the same as a person with 20 years more age  replaces an existing person of the group ( or village)

Since the total age of the village having n persons, is being increased by 20 years and the average age of village is being increased by 1 year, hence there are total 20 people in the village.

 

Alternatively :  ( n x 42 ) + 20 = ( n x 43 )

                          => n=20

A) 49 : 221 B) 39:231

Copper in 5 kg = 5/6 kg          and      Zinc in 5 kg = 5 x (5/6) kg

 

Therefore, Copper in mixture = 45+56=4930 kg

 

and  Zinc in the mixture = 165+256=22130kg
