Alekhya was born one year after her mother's marriage. Her father is two years elder than her mother but twenty-five years older than Alekhya, who is six years old. At what age did the mother get married?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 22 years.
The present age of Alekhya = 6 years
Present age of Alekhya's father = 6 + 25 = 31 years
Present age of Alekhya's mother = 31 - 2 = 29 years
Age of Alekhya's mother when she got married = 29 - (6 + 1) = 29 - 7 = 22 years
