Ram was born 30 years after his father was born and Ram's sister was born 25 years after Ram’s mother was born. The average age of the Ram family is 26.25 years right now. Ram's sister will get married 4 years from now and will leave the family. Then the sum of age of the family will be 107 years. What is the age of Ram's father?

Let the present age of father be x and mother be y
∴ Ram age = (x – 30)
And Ram’s sister = (y – 25)
We know that
Average = Sum of all/total number of terms
⇒ 26.25 = Sum of all/4
Sum of their ages will be = 105
∴ x + y + (x - 30) + (y – 25) = 105
⇒ x + y = 80 ----(i)
After four years their total ages will be (excluding daughter age)
∴ (x + 4) + (y + 4) + (x – 30) + 4 = 107
⇒ 2x + y = 125 ----(ii)
By solving equation (i) and (ii) we get
⇒ x = 45 and y = 35
∴ The age of Ram’s father will be 45 years
