The average age of a husband and wife was 22 years when they married 5 years ago. What is the present average age of the family if they have a 3-year-old child?
A19 years ✓ Correct
B25 years
C27 years
D28.5 years
Correct answer: (A) 19 years
Explanation
The present average age of the family is 19 years.
At marriage the couple's total age = 2 x 22 = 44 years.
After 5 years both grow, so their total = 44 + 2 x 5 = 54 years.
Adding the 3-year-old child, the family total = 54 + 3 = 57 years.
Average = 57 / 3 = 19 years.
