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. |
