Answer : 2. "60 yrs"
Explanation :

Answer: B) 60 yrs Explanation: Let the Father be x years when he died Average Age 10 years ago be A Total Age 10 years ago = 6*A Total Age after 10 years(Just before father's Death) = 6A + 6*10 = 6A + 60 Father Died and Baby was born => the Total number of people in the family is Same (6) Baby born today so age of baby = 0 (6A +60 - x)/6 = 6A/6 => A + 10 -(x/6) = A => x/6 = 10 => x = 60 Therefore we can conclude that the father was 60 years old when he died.
