Average age of 5 members = 20 years
Age of the youngest member = 5 years
Formula Used:
Average = Sum of age/Number of members
Calculation:
Total age of 5 members = 5 × 20 = 100 years
⇒ Total age of other 4 members = (100 – 5) = 95 years
Total age of other 4 members before 5 years = (95 – 4 × 5) = 75 years
∴ Average age of the family just before the birth of the youngest member = 75/4 = 18.75 yearsLast updated on Jul 15, 2025
