Correct Answer: 48 years


Solution : Given: The average age of 6 members of a family is 20 years. If the age of the servant is included, the average age increases by 20%.
Let the age of the servant be $x$.
According to the question,
$6×20+x=7×\frac{120}{100}×20$
⇒ $x=168-120$
⇒ $x=48$
Hence, the correct answer is 48 years.
