Question

at the time of marriage, a man was 6 years elder to his wife. 12 years after their marriage, his age is 6/5 times the age of his wife. what was wife’s age at the time of marriage?

Answer 1

At the time of marriage,
Man's wife age be x
Man's age = x+6

After 12 years,
Man's wife age= x+12
Man's age = x+6+ 12= x+18

Man's age= 6/5( Man's wife age)
x+18= 6/5(x+12)
5(x+18)= 6(x+12)
5x+ 90 = 6x + 72
x= 90 - 72
x= 18

•°•Man's wife age at the time of marriage= x= 18 years
