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?

Answer Posted / baby

et x be the avg age of each person in the family ten years
back...
so total age=6x
after 10 years i.e,now the total age of the family =6x+60
let grand father age as y
then the average of the family=(6x+60-y)/5
(bcoz grand father has expired and the new born baby has no
age at present)

according to the given question (6x+60-y)/5=x

bcoz x is the avg age bfore 10 years.

while calc the equation according to the presnt age we have
to add 10 to the result....


so the answer is 70

Samuel is obviously a bad fisherman. During the past season, in which he and the five members of his team spent four months on a boat together off Dutch Harbor, AK, he caught fewer fish than any of his teammates. Which of the following, if true, most weakens the argument above? While fishing this past season, Samuel fell sick for a week and did not catch any fish during this time. Before becoming a fisherman, Samuel piloted a fishing boat whose members regularly caught record numbers of fish. Unlike the other fishermen on his boat, at the order of the captain, Samuel fished this past season with experimental bait. Two seasons ago, Samuel fished on another boat off Dutch Harbor and caught more fish than any other member of that boat.
