Solution :- Let the age of new boy = X years
Total age of 30 boys = 30*16 = 480 years
As per question, if we minus age of boy who leaves the group and then add the age of boy who joins the group the new average becomes = 15.8 years.

=15.8

480 – 19 + X = 474

X = 474 – 480 +19

X = – 6 +19

= 13 years
