Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : 40 years

Given:

The ratio between the age of Father and Mother is 8 : 7.

After 8 years, the total age of father and mother is 91 years

Calculation:

Let present age of father and mother be a and b years respectively.

⇒ a : b = 8 : 7

⇒ a = 8(b/7)

Then,

⇒ (a + 8) + (b + 8) = 91

⇒ a + b = 75

After solving,

a = 40 years and b = 35 years

∴ The present age of father is 40 years.
