8 years ago, the average age of Rahul's family consisting of 6 members was 35 years. One year ago a new baby was born in this family. What will be the average age of the family four years hence?
8 years ago, the average age of Rahul's family consisting of 6 members was 35 years.
8 years ago, the total age of Rahul's family consisting of 6 members = $$35\times6$$ = 210
One year ago, the total age of Rahul's family consisting of 6 members = $$210+7\times6$$ = 210+42 = 252
One year ago a new baby was born in this family.
Present total age of Rahul's family consisting of 7 members = 252+7 = 259Â
Four years hence, the total age of Rahul's family consisting of 7 members = $$259+4\times7$$
=Â 259+28
= 287
Average age of the family four years hence =Â $$\frac{287}{7}$$ = 41 years
