At present a person is 4 times older than his son and is 3 years older than his wife. After 3 years the age of the son will be 15 years. The age of the person's wife after 5 years will be-------?
====================
After 3 years the age of the son will be 15 years --> the son is 12.
-------------
4 times older = 5 times as old
5*12 = 60
-----------
Wife is now 60-3 = 57
In 5 years she'll be 62.
