The average age of husband, wife and their child 3 years ago was 27 years and that of wife and the child 5 years ago was 20 years. The present age of the husband is :
-
- 50 years
- 40 years
- 35 years
- None of the options
- 50 years
Correct Option: B
According to the question,
Sum of the present ages of husband, wife and child = 3 × (27 + 3)
Sum of the present ages of husband, wife and child = 3 × 30 years = 90 years
Sum of the presents age of wife and child = 2(20 + 5) = 50 years
∴ Husband’s present age = Sum of the present ages of husband, wife and child - Sum of the presents age of wife and child
Hence , Husband’s present age = 90 – 50 = 40 years
