Read this question in English
Ena was born 4 years after her parents’ marriage. Her mother is three years younger than her father and 24 years older than Ena, who is 13 years old. At what age did Ena’s father get married?
(a) 22 years · (b) 23 years · (c) 24 years · (d) 25 years
उत्तर और व्याख्या · explanation in English
Answer: (b) 23 वर्ष
Ena is 13, her mother 37 and her father 40. The marriage took place 13 + 4 = 17 years ago, when the father was 40 − 17 = 23.
- Ena = 13; mother = 13 + 24 = 37; father = 37 + 3 = 40.
- The marriage was 4 years before Ena's birth: 13 + 4 = 17 years ago.
- Father's age at marriage = 40 − 17 = 23 years.
Remember · Fix everyone's present age first, then move all of them back by the same number of years.
