  • Options
  • A. 40 years
  • B. 50 years
  • C. 45 years
  • D. 35 years

  • Correct Answer
  • 40 years 

    Explanation

    The average age of husband, wife and their child 3 years ago = 27 years
    Total age of husband, wife and their child 3 years ago = 27 × 3 = 81 years
    The average age of wife and the child 5 years ago = 20 years
    Total age of wife and child five years ago was 20× 2 = 40 years
    ? Total age of wife and child 3 years ago
    = 40 + (2 × 2)
    = 40 + 4 = 44 years
    ? Age of husband three years ago = Total age of husband, wife and their child 3 years ago - Total age of wife and child 3 years ago
    Age of husband three years ago = 81 ? 44 = 37 years
    Therefore, the present age of husband = 37 + 3 = 40 years
