The presnet ages of 3 three.

(x+y+z)/3=30 ---> eq1.

Five years ago
(y+z)/2=25
y+z=50 ---> eq.2.

Put the values of y+z in thr first equation we get:-
(x+50)/3=30,
x=90-50,
x=40.

When I have 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?

Can anyone solve this question in simple way?

@ALL.

Members average-years ago=average age.
((h+w+c)/3)-3=27.........=90.
n0w average age of wife and child.
((w+c)/2)-5=20............=50,
So, 90-50=40 years.

Fathers age is the sum of mother and his son age but the today's average age of three of them are 20 so what will be the today's age of father? Can anyone solve this?

3 years ago, average age of husband, wife and their child = 27,
=> Sum of age of husband, wife and their child before 3 years = 3 * 27 = 81,
=> (h-3) + (w-3) + (c-3) = 81,
=> h + w + c = 81 + 9 = 90 --- equation(1).

5 years ago, average age of wife and child = 20,
=> Sum of age of wife and child before 5 years = 2 * 20 = 40,
=> (w-5) + (c-5) = 40,
=> w + c = 40 + 10 = 50 --- equation(2).

Substituting equation(2) in equation(1)
=> h + 50 = 90,
=> h = 90 - 50 = 40.

i.e., Present age of the husband = 40.

Can anyone please help me with this question?

The average of a couple was 24 years when the child was just born. What will be the age of the father when the child reaches to the age of the mother when she gave him the birth?

The age of mother and father when the child was just born is 24/2=12.
When the child reaches to the age of the mother means when it will reach 12 years,
Father age is 12+12=24.

Can anyone say is this answer is correct?

Thanks @Ramya.

Thank you for explaining the answer.
