Answer 2

Answer:

Age of Aslam is 38 years.

Given:

Aslam is 6 years older than his wife.

Wife is 4 times as old as her daughter

Age of daughter was 5 years old three years back.

To find:

The age of Aslam.

Step-by-step explanation:

let us consider the age of the Daughter be x years.

so,

the age of daughter 3 years back will be (x-3)

it is given that,

Age of daughter was 5 years old three years back.

∴ (x - 3) = 5

⇒ x = 5 + 3

⇒ x = 8

hence, the present age of daughter is 8 years.

Also,

Wife is 4 times as old as her daughter.

so, the age of wife will be 4x

∴ 4x = 4 × 8

⇒ 32

hence, the age of wife is 32 years.

Then,

Aslam is 6 years older than his wife.

so, the age of Aslam will be,

⇒ 32 + 6

⇒ 38

therefore, the age of Aslam is 38 years.

Hence, option (A) is correct.
