Question

a man is 14 years older than his wife and the wife is now thrice as old as their daughter, who is 17 years old. How old was the man when his daughter was born?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Given that, man is 5 years older than his wife and wife is thrice as old as daughter.

Daughter is 10 years old.

Let the man's age be M, wife's age be W and daughter's age be D.

Thus according to given condition, we have

M=W+5 ....(1),

W=3D ....(2)

and D=10 ....(3)

Putting d=10 in equation (2), we get

W=3D=3×10=30

Put W=30 in equation (1), we get

M=W+5=30+5=35

So, man's age when his daughter was born will be 35−10=25 years.
