Question

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:

Options:
A .  35 years
B .  40 years
C .  50 years
D .  None of these
Answer: Option B

Sum of the present ages of husband, wife and child = (27 x 3 + 3 x 3) years = 90 years.


Sum of the present ages of wife and child = (20 x 2 + 5 x 2) years = 50 years.


Therefore  Husband's present age = (90 - 50) years = 40 years.
