Answer
Correct Answer: 23 years
Explanation
Given data
- Ayush = 10 years.
- Mother = Ayush + 20 = 30 years.
- Mother is 5 years younger than father ⇒ Father = 30 + 5 = 35 years.
- Ayush was born 2 years after father's marriage.
Compute father's marriage age Time since marriage = Ayush's age + 2 = 10 + 2 = 12 years. Father's age at marriage = 35 − 12 = 23 years.
