  • Question
  • In a family, mother's age is twice that of daughter's age. Father is 10 years older than mother. Brother is 20 years younger than his mother and 5 years older than his sister. What is the age of the father?


  • Options
  • A. 62 years
  • B. 60 years
  • C. 58 years
  • D. 55 years

  • Correct Answer
  • 60 years 

    Explanation

    Suppose the age of daughter is P years.
    Age of brother = age of daughter + 5 years = P + 5 years
    Age of mother = 2 × age of daughter = 2P years
    According to question ,
    ? Age of mother - 20 years = Age of brother
    ? 2P ? 20 = P + 5
    ? 2P ? P = 5 + 20
    ? P = 25 years
    Age of mother = 2P = 2 × 25 = 50 years
    Age of father = Age of mother + 10 years = 50 + 10 = 60 years
