    The average age of Priyambada's family consisting of 5 members 3 yr ago was 35 yr. One year ago a new baby was born in this family. Three years hence the average age of the family will be

    A)  \[36\,\,yr\]

    B)  \[34\frac{5}{6}\,yr\]

    C)  \[35\frac{4}{5}\,yr\]

    D)  None of these

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    3 yr ago, total age of 5 members \[=5\times 35=175\,\text{yr}\] At the time of birth of new baby the total age of family \[=175\,+\,(2\times 5)=185\,yr\] The present age of family \[=185+\,(1\times 6)=191\,yr\] 3 yr, hence the average age of family \[=\frac{191+(3\times 6)}{6}\] \[=34\frac{5}{6}yr\]
