The sum of ages of family members (both children and parents) is 360 years. The total ages of children and parents are in the ratio 2:1 and the ages of wife and husband are in the ratio 5:7. What will be the age of the husband?
Solution
Correct Answer: Option C
Sum of ages is 360 years. The ratio of children and parents ages is 2:1.
Total age of parents = 360 x 1 / 3 = 120 years
The ratio of wife and husband age is 5:7. Therefore, the age of husband = 120 x 7 / 12 = 70
Hence the age of husband is 70 years.
