10 years ago , the average age of a family of 4 members was 24 years . two children having been born ( with age diference of 2 years ) , the present average age of the family is the same . the present age of the youngest child is :
"explanation : total age of 4 members , 10 years ago = ( 24 x 4 ) years = 96 years . total age of 4 members now = [ 96 + ( 10 x 4 ) ] years = 136 years . total age of 6 members now = ( 24 x 6 ) years = 144 years . sum of the ages of 2 children = ( 144 - 136 ) years = 8 years . let the age of the younger child be x years . then , age of the elder child = ( x + 2 ) years . so , x + ( x + 2 ) = 8 ⇔ x = 3 age of younger child = 3 years . answer : c"
