Options:

$33\frac{4}{9}$

$31\frac{5}{7}$

$27\frac{3}{7}$

$34\frac{2}{5}$

Correct Answer:

$31\frac{5}{7}$

Explanation:

ATQ,

Sum of present age of grandparents = 134

Sum of present age of parents = 70

Sum of present age of grand children = 18

Average age of family = \(\frac{134 + 70 + 18}{7}\)

                                  = \(\frac{222}{7}\)

                                  = 31\(\frac{5}{7}\)
