The following question has three statements. Study the question and the statements and decide which of the statement(s) is necessary to answer the question. What is the difference of ages of Rohit’s wife and his son? I. At the time of marriage Rohit's age was 25 years. II. The average age of Rohit and Rohit's wife at the time of marriage was 24 years. III. The difference between the present ages of Rohit and his son is 27 years. Correct Answer All statements are required

Statement I:

The age of Rohit at the time of marriage = 25 years.

Statement I alone is not sufficient to answer the question.

Statement II:

Total age of Rohit and his wife at the time of marriage = 24 × 2 = 48 years.

Statement II alone is not sufficient to answer the question.

Statement III:

Difference between the ages of Rohit and his son = 27 years

Statement III alone is not sufficient to answer the question.

Statement I + Statement II + Statement III;

I) The age of Rohit at the time of marrige = 25 years

II) The age of Rohit’s wife at the time of marriage = 48 – 25 = 23 years

III) Difference between the present ages of Rohit and his son = 27 years

∴ Son should have born after 2 years of marriage.

∴ Difference of ages of Rohit’s wife and his son = 23 + 2 = 25 years

Hence all the statements are required to give the answer
