- Consider present age of man and his daughter is X and Y respectively.
We find answer from second line itself.
Their ages after five year is (x+5) and (y+5)
Average is,
21=(x+5) + (y+5) / 2
42=x+y+10
X+Y=32
Therefore sum of their present ages is 32. - 4 years agoHelpfull: Yes(2) No(0)

- Average age of daughter and man after 5 years is 21.
Then man's age=x
Daughter's age=y
Average age=21
((x+5)+(y+2))/2=21
x+y+10=42
x+y=42-10
Then ,x+y=32
Ans:option 1:32 - 3 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- ans=1
let man=m,daughter=d
m-d=30
after 5 years man=m+5
daughter = d+5
avg is,
21=(m+5)+(d+5)/2
21*2=m+5+d+5
42=m+d+10
42-10=m+d
32=m+d
so the sum of the present age of father and daughter is =32 - 3 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
