Before adding four new girls, average can be given as

⇒ Sum of age of 6 girls/6 = x

⇒ Sum of age of 6 girls = 6x

After adding age of 4 new girls average can be given as

⇒ New average = Sum of age of 6 girls + x – 2 + x + 2 + x + 4 + x + 6 /(6 + 4)

⇒ New average = (10x + 10)/10

⇒ New average = x + 1

∴ new average is x + 1
