The average age of a family of four members is 23 years. The age of youngest member is 5 years. Find the average age of the family just before the birth of youngest member.
Sum of the age of all members = 23 × 4 = 92
Age of the youngest member = 5
Sum of the ages of all members at the time of birth of youngest member = 92 - (5 × 4) = 72
Average age at the time of birth of youngest member = 72/3 = 24
