Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

We are told that the average age of the man and his wife at the time of marriage is 27 years.

So, their total age at the time of marriage = 27 × 2 = 54 years.

After 4 years, each of them is 4 years older, so their combined age increases by 4 + 4 = 8 years.

Total age of the man and his wife after 4 years = 54 + 8 = 62 years.

After 4 years, they have a 1-year-old child, so the child's age is 1 year.

Total age of the family now = 62 + 1 = 63 years.

Number of family members = 3 (man, wife, and child).

Average age of the family = total age ÷ number of members = 63 ÷ 3 = 21 years.

Therefore, the average age of the family now is 21 years.
