a) 2 years

b) 1 year

c) 3 years

Answer: (a)

Sum of the present age of husband and wife

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

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

= 44 years
