Best answer
Correct Answer - Option 1 : 1

Given: The average age of a family of 6 members 4 yrs ago was 25 yrs. A child was born in this family and still the average age of the whole family is same today.

Formula: Average of n numbers a1, a2, .… an = (a1 + a2 + ... + an)/n

Calculation:

After 4 years the age of every member of the family increases by 4 years.

Total present age of a family of 6 members = 25 × 6 + 4 × 6 = 174

Total present age of a family including child = 25 × 7 = 175

Hence present age of child = 175 – 174 = 1 yr
