Detailed Solution

Given that a family consists of two grandparents, two parents and three grandchildren. 

  • The average age of the grandparents is 67 years, 
  • The average age of the parents is 35 years 
  • The average age of the grandchildren is 6 years

There are 7 persons in the family. To get the average age of family members, use the concept of weighted mean.

It implies that 

  Avg=267+235+367 =134+70+187 =2227 =31.71

Therefore, the average age of the family is 31.71
