Question 977534: at present a person is 4 times older than his son and 3 years older than his wife.after 3 years the age of son will be 15 years.So how much his wife age after 5 years? Answer by Cromlix(4381) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 3 years ago the son's age would
have been 15 - 3 = 12 years old.
Therefore the person's age at
that time (3 yrs ago)would be 48 (4 x 12)
At that time (3yrs ago) his wife's
age would have been 45 (48 - 3)
So his wife would be 50 in 5 years time.
Hope this helps:-)
