Explanation:

Difference between the age of the oldest and the newest member = 20 * 4
(because by this number the sum of ages of all the persons in the group has reduced) = 80 years
So, age of the new person = 90 – 80 = 10 years
(One should be able to think like this directly and not solve such questions via the ‘x’ method as it is time consuming)
