Let the age of father be x.
and the average age of one child be y.
Present age of father = sum of ages of 6 children
x = 6y ................................. (i)
After 15 years
Father's age = x + 15
Age of one child = y + 15
According to question
2(x + 15) = 6 (y + 15)
2x + 30 = 6y + 90
2 × 6y + 30 = 6y + 90 ....... [substitude x = 6y from (i)]
12y + 30 = 6y + 90
12y - 6y = 90 - 30
6y = 60
{tex}\eqalign{ & \,\,\,\,\,y\,\, = \,\,{{60} \over 6}\,\, = \,\,10 \cr & \,\,x\,\, = \,\,6y\,\, = \,\,6\,\, \times \,\,10\,\, = \,\,60 \cr} {/tex}
Hence the age of father be = x = 60 years.
