Swetha when get married to Sudeer her age was 3/4 th of her husband's age. After 12 years her age became 5/6 th of her husband's age. Then what's the age of Swetha when she got married ?

18 years
21 years
23 years
17 years

Correct Answer: 18 years

Explanation:

At the time of marriage, let Sudeer's age be 4x, then Swetha's age is 3x
12 years after:
Age of Sudeer = 4x+12
Age of Swetha = 3x+12
Now the equation is 3x+12=5/6(4x+12)
Solving equation we get x=6
Hence Swetha got married at the age of 18.
