Answer:Let the number of family members be 'x'

Let the number of family members be 'x'the average age of the family members 5 years ago is 25 years so the sum of age of all family members 5 years ago =25x the sum of age of these family members now and after 5 years elapsed =25x (these added 5 years no of family members) =25x+5x=30x Sum of ages =30x no. family members be x

Let the number of family members be 'x'the average age of the family members 5 years ago is 25 years so the sum of age of all family members 5 years ago =25x the sum of age of these family members now and after 5 years elapsed =25x (these added 5 years no of family members) =25x+5x=30x Sum of ages =30x no. family members be xTherefore, current, average age = sum of ages/no. of members = 30x/x=30
