Correct answer: C. 2 years2 वर्ष
Explanation
Three years ago the total age = 5 × 17 = 85, so today the 5 members total 85 + 15 = 100. With the baby, 6 members still average 17, so total = 6 × 17 = 102. Baby's age = 102 − 100 = 2 years.तीन वर्ष पहले कुल आयु = 5 × 17 = 85, अतः आज 5 सदस्यों की कुल आयु = 85 + 15 = 100। शिशु सहित 6 सदस्यों की औसत आयु अब भी 17 है, अतः कुल = 6 × 17 = 102। शिशु की आयु = 102 − 100 = 2 वर्ष।More Mathematical Reasoning and Aptitude questions
