When I was married 10 years ago my wife is the 6th member of the family. Today my father died and a baby born to me.The average age of my family during my marriage is same as today. What is the age of Father when he died ?
 

  • A.50 years
  • B.60 years
  • C.70 years
  • D.80 years

Answer: B

Let the Father be \(x\) years when he died. 

Average Age 10 years ago be  \(A\)

Total Age 10 years ago = \(6A\)

Total Age after 10 years(Just before father's Death) =  \( 6A + 6*10 = 6A + 60\)

Father Died and Baby was born => the Total number of people in the family is Same (6) 
Baby born today so age of baby = 0
\((6A +60 - x)/6 = 6A/6\)

\(\Rightarrow A + 10 -(x/6) = A \)

\(\Rightarrow x/6 = 10 \)

\(\Rightarrow x = 60\)

Therefore we can conclude that the father was 60 years old when he died.
