Answer:

Father's age = 65 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the age of father = x years

Age of mother           = (x - 4) years

         

[tex]\sf Average = \dfrac{Sum \ of \ all \ the \ data}{number \ of \ data}\\\\\boxed{\text{Sum of all data =average * number of data}}[/tex]

  Average age of six children =  19 years  

       Sum of age of 6 children = 19 *6 = 114 years      

Average of all 8 members = 30 years

Sum of age of all members = 30*8 = 240 years

sum of age of 6 children + father's age + mother's age = sum of all age of members

114 + x + x -4  = 240

        110 + 2x = 240

                  2x = 240 -110

                  2x = 130

                    x = 130/2

                    x = 65 years

Father's age = 65 years
