a) 2 years

b) 1 year

c) 3 years

d) 2.5 years

Answer: (a)

Sum of the present age of husband and wife

= 2 × 25 + 2 × 4 = 58 years

&there; Child’s present age

Question : 27 [SSC SO 2005]

When the average age of a husband and wife and their son was 42 years, the son got married and a child was born just one year after the marriage. When child turned to be five years then the average age of family became 36 years. What was the age of daughter-in-law at the time of marriage ?

a) 25 years

b) 26 years

c) 23 years

d) 24 years

Answer: (d)

H + W + S = 42 × 3 = 126

(H + W + S) + D + C = 36 × 5 = 180

(126 + 6 × 3) + D + C = 180

⇒ (126 + 18) + D + C = 180

⇒ 144 + D + C = 180

⇒ D + C = 180 – 144 = 36

∴ Age of daughter-in-law at the time of marriage (D).

= 36 – (6 + 6) = 24 years

Answer: (a)

Total age of 11 players = 11 × 20 = 220 years

Total age of 11 players and the coach = 12 × 22 = 264 years

∴ Age of the coach = (264 – 220) years

= 44 years

Child’s age = 162 – 160 = 2 years
