Answer» Correct Answer - Option 5 : 21 yrs

GIVEN:

(Man + wife)'s average age at marriage = 27 yrs

Child's age after 4 years of marriage = 1 yr

FORMULA USED:
Average = Sum of observations/Total number of observations

CALCULATION:
(Man + wife)'s age at marriage = 27× 2 = 54 yrs

(Man + wife)'s age after 4 yrs= 54 + 4 × 2 = 62 yrs

Total age of family = 62 + 1 = 63 yrs

Average age = 63/3 = 21 yrs

∴ The average age is 21 years.
