Question

Ayush was born two years after his father’s marriage. His mother is five years younger than

his father but 20 years older than Ayush who is 10 years old. At what age did the father get married?

Options:

(a) 23 years

(b) 25 years

(c) 33 years

(d) 35 years​

Answer 1

33 is the answer .............

Answer 2

Let his father's age when he was married be =x

So when Ayush was born his age was = x+2

Since Ayush's mother is 5 years younger than his father, then

Ayush's mother's age when he was born is = (x+2) -5 = x-3

As Ayush's mother is 20 years older than a 10 yr old Ayush, that means she is currently 30 and that when he was born she was 20.

As proved above,

Ayush's mother's age when he was born is = (x+2) -5 = x-3 = 20

                                                                                           x = 20+3

                                                                                           x = 23

So when Ayush's father was married he was 23 years old

(a) is correct

HOPE THIS HELPS ^_^
