Correct Answer: 10
Solution :
Given: The average age of the father (F) and mother (M) is 40 years.
So, M + F = 2 × 40 = 80 years
The average age of the father, mother, and daughter (D) is 30 years.
So, M + F + D = 3 × 30 = 90 years
So, age of daughter = 90 – 80 = 10 years
Hence, the correct answer is 10.
