Question

There are six members in a family. This year the father died and he has a son Ramesh, and a son is born to Ramesh. The average age of the family is the same now as it was 10 years back. At what age has the father of Ramesh died?

A.

60 years

B.

50 years

C.

64 years

D.

72 years

Correct option is A

Given:

​There are 6 family members (including the father, Ramesh, and Ramesh's newborn son).

The average age of the family is the same now as it was 10 years ago.
The father of Ramesh has passed away this year, and a son is born to Ramesh.
Solution:
Let the age of five members of the family be Y
And the age of father be X
Total present age of family = Y+ 0
'0' is the age of the newborn child.
Total age of family member 10 years back = Y - 50 + X-10
The average age of the family is the same now as it was 10 years back
Therefore, Y+0= Y- 50+ X-10
X = Y-Y+ 60
X = 60
Hence, the age of the father is '60'years.
