Q:

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 yrs B) 60 yrs
C) 70 yrs D) 65 yrs

Answer:   B) 60 yrs



Explanation:

Let the Father be x years when he died

Average Age 10 years ago be A

Total Age 10 years ago = 6*A

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
=> A + 10 -(x/6) = A
=> x/6 = 10
=> x = 60

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