Ten years ago, the total age of the family is 231 years.
Seven years ago, (Just before the death of the first person), the total age of the family would have been 231+8*3 = 231+24 = 255.
After the death of one member and the birth of a child, the total age is 195 years.
Four years ago, after the death of one member and birth of another child, the total age of the family is 195+24-60 = 159 years. The current total age of the family is = 8x4 + 159 = 191 years The average age is 191/8 = 23.875 years = 24 years (approx)
