Answer 2

The age of the member who passed away is 60 years.

Given : The average age of the family at the time when they bought a car is same as today.

To Find : The age of the member who passed away.

Solution,

Let the age of five family members be P

Let the age of the family member died be Q

Total present age of the family  members 10 years back = P-50 + Q-10

The average age of the family is now the same as it was 10 years back.

Therefore,

P = P-50 + Q-10

Q = P - P + 60

Q = 60

Hence, The age of the member who passed away is 60 years
