Correct Answer 28.33 years

The average age of the family of 5 persons is 20.2 years.

Total age of five people = 20.2 × 5 = 101 years

Wife of Mithun is 3 years younger to him.

Let the age of Mithun be x.

Age of his wife = x – 3

Age of his youngest son = x – 36

Age of his eldest son = x – 3 - 25 = x - 28

Age of his daughter = {(x - 36) + (x – 28)} ÷ 2

⇒ x – 32

sum of the ages of all five people is 101

⇒ x + (x – 3) + (x – 36) + (x – 28) + (x – 32) = 101

⇒ 5x – 99 = 101

⇒ x = 40

Average of age of Mithun, his wife and his daughter = {x + (x – 3) + (x – 32)} ÷ 3

⇒ (40 + 37 + 8) ÷ 3 = 85 ÷ 3

⇒ 28.33 years
