mean age of 5 men= 42 

so, sum of their ages will be = 42*5=210

if one woman is added to them and now mean age is 45

so total members are now 6 and their mean age is 45 to sum of their ages= 45*6= 270

so now when 5 men have sum of their ages is 210 and when one woman is added to them, their ages sum will be 270

so woman age= sum of 5 men and one woman - sum of 5 men age

                           =270-210

woman age = 60 years
