Answer 1

Answer:

23 years

Explanation:

Given :

• 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 and Ayush age is 10 years.

To Find :

• At what age did the father get married = ?

Solution :

Present age of Ayush => 10 years

Ayush’s  mother present age => 10 + 20

= 30 years

So,Ayush’s father present age => 30 + 5

= 35 years

Father’s age  when Ayush was born => 35 - 10

= 25 years

According to the question Ayush was born two year after his father’s marriage,therefore his father’s age when he get married:-

25 - 2

= 23 years

Ayush’s father age at the time of marriage is equal to 23years,hence option b,23 is correct.
