In the family of Mukesh there are 3 members. If 9 years are subtracted from the age of Mukesh and divided by 5 then we get his son Suresh age. If the age of the Mukesh wife is 15/17 times of the Mukesh age and also the age of Suresh friend Sahoo who is 5 years older than him is 10 years old then find the average age of the Mukesh family.

If the age of the Mukesh wife is 15/17 times of the Mukesh age and also the age of Suresh friend Sahoo who is 5 years older than him is 10 years old then find the average age of the Mukesh family. Correct Answer 23 years
Given:
(Mukesh age – 9)/5 = Suresh age ----(i)
Mukesh wife age = (15/17) of Mukesh age ----(ii)
Suresh age = Sahoo age – 5 ----(iii)
Sahoo age = 10
Calculation:
From equation (iii)
We get Suresh age = 10 – 5 = 5 years
Now put this value in equation (i) we get
Mukesh age – 9 = 25
⇒ Mukesh age = 34 years
Mukesh wife age = (15/17) × 34 = 30 years
∴ Average age of Mukesh family = (34 + 30 + 5)/3 = 69/3 = 23 years
