    The average age of a family of 3 members is 36 years. If

    the father’s age is 10 years more than the mother’s age, and the age of the son is 4 years less than the mother’s age, what is the age of the Son?
    A 25 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 20 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 30 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 35 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the mother's age be x years. Father’s age = x + 10, Son’s age = x - 4. Let the daughter’s age be y years. The average age is given by (x + x + 10 + x - 4 ) / 3 = 36. 3x + 6 = 108 3x = 102 x = 34 Son’s age = x – 4 = 30 years. Hence, the Sonr’s age is 30 years. Correct answer: c) 30 years.
