Question

Question

Answer 1

Given:

Wife was born 23 years ago (which means her present age is 23 years

Ratio of ages of Rahul and his wife 7 years from now will be 7 : 6

Calculation:

Let the present age of husband be x years.

Age of husband 7 years hence = x + 7

Present age of wife = 23 years

Age of wife after 7 years = 30 years

According to the question,

Ratio of ages of husband and wife 7 years from now = 7 : 6

⇒ (x + 7)/30 = 7/6

⇒ x + 7 = 35

⇒ x = 28 years

∴ Age of Rahul after 2 years = 30
