Question

In a family, the father is 5 years older than the mother and the mother's age now is thrice the age of the daughter. The daughter is now 10 years old. What was the age of the father when the daughter was born?

Options

• 25

• 30

• 35

• 40

Answer 1

25
Explanation:
Given age of daughter = 10 years
∴ Age of mother = 3 x 10 = 30yr
and age of father = 30 + 5 = 35 yr
Hence, required age of father = 35 - 10 = 25 yr
