Explanation

Statement I only gives family size (5) and child age ratio (5:4:2), which is insufficient to find average age. Statement II gives father's age (50), younger child is 40 less than father (so child is 10) and 35 less than mother (so mother is 45). However, we don't know family size from II alone. Combining both: Family = 5, father = 50, mother = 45, younger child = 10. With child ratio 5:4:2 and youngest = 10, we get ages as 25, 20, 10. Total = 50+45+25+20+10 = 150, average = 150/5 = 30.
