(grandpa+granny)/2=67=134
(ma+pa)/2=35=70
(rinku+minku+chinku)/3=6=18

Now average age is(total age of all members/no of members) = 222/7(grandpa,granny,ma,pa,chinku,minku,rinku)

Hope it'll help you

As you are mentioning in question that 2 grandparents are there means 4 peoples (Because grandparent consists of 2 Members)and same as in parents 2 parents means 4 person again. Then i hope here total members are 11.
Hope it is correct if not please correct me

There are 2 grandparents of 67yrs (67*2)
2 parents of 35yrs (35*2)
3 grandchildren of 6yrs (6*3)
average = sum of total ages/no.of persons
67 x 2 + 35 x 2 + 6 x 3 divided by 2 + 2 + 3
=31 5/7
Hope that explains if not plz correct me.
