Question : Three years ago, the average age of a family of 5 members was 17 years. A baby having been born the average age of the family is the same today. The present age of the baby (in years) is:
Option 1: 2
Option 2: 2.4
Option 3: 3
Option 4: 1.5
Correct Answer: 2
Solution : Given that the average age of 5 members = 17 $\therefore$ Total age of 5 members = 17 × 5 = 85 Now, let the present age of the baby be $x$ years Present total age of the family $= 85 + 5\times3 + x = 100 + x$ According to the question, $\frac{100+x}{6}=17$ $⇒ 100 + x = 102$ $\therefore x = 2$ years Hence, the correct answer is 2.
