When I was married 10 years ago my wife is the 6th member of the family. Today my father died and a baby born to me.The average age of my family during my marriage is same as today. What is the age of Father when he died ?

Correct Answer: 60 yrs

Explanation:

Let the Father be x years when he died


Average Age 10 years ago be A


Total Age 10 years ago = 6*A


Total Age after 10 years(Just before father's Death) = 6A + 6*10 = 6A + 60


Father Died and Baby was born => the Total number of people in the family is Same (6)
Baby born today so age of baby = 0


(6A +60 - x)/6 = 6A/6
=> A + 10 -(x/6) = A
=> x/6 = 10
=> x = 60


Therefore we can conclude that the father was 60 years old when he died.
