Given,

Number of member = 5

Average present age = 33 years

∴ Sum of present ages of 5 member

= (Number of members) × (Average present age)

= 5 × 33

= 165 years

Given, Age of youngest member = 9 years

∴ Sum of the ages of other 4 members just before the birth of youngest member

= Sum of present ages of 5 member - Age of youngest member – 4 × 9

= 165 – 9 – 36 = 120

∴ Average age of other 4 members just before the birth of youngest member

= 120/4 = 30 years
