The average of 6 family members is 25 years old.
The age of the youngest member of the family is 8 years.
Formula used:
Average = (Sum of total observations)/(Total number of observation)
Calculation:
Average = (Sum of total observations)/(Total number of observation)
⇒ (Sum of total observations) = Average × (Total number of observation)
Total sum of family = 6 × 25 = 150 years
Age of child is 8 years old, before his birth all 5 member of family are 8 years less than present age
So, New sum of age of family = 150 – 8 × 6 = 102 years
The required average = 102/5 = 20.4 years
∴ The required average is 20.4 years.
