Options- A. 60 years
- B. 51 years
- C. 48 years
- D. 45 years

The present age of father = 4P = 4 × 12 = 48 years
? The present age of man's wife = The present age of father - 3 = 48 ? 3 = 45 years - 1. Directions : For the Assertion (A) and Reason (R) below, choose the correct alternative Assertion (A) : There is no vaccine for AIDS. Resson (R) : The AIDS virus changes its genetic code
