A man is 3 years older than his wife and four times as old as his son. If the son will be 15 years old after 3 years, what is the present age of the wife?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → 45 years
Start from the son, whose age is fixed by the future condition, and move to the man and then the wife.
Son now \(=15-3=12\) years
Man now \(=4\times12=48\) years
Wife now \(=48-3=45\) years
