5 years from now my age will be equal to my father’s age when he got married. The ratio of my father’s age to my mother’s age at the time of their wedding was 7 : 6. If the at the time of wedding my mother was 24 years old, find my age now. Correct Answer 23 years

Let my age now be x. My father’s age at the time of their wedding = my age 5 years later = x + 5 Ratio of age of my father to my mother at the time of their wedding = 7 : 6 My mother’s age at their wedding = 24 years (given) My father’s age at his wedding = (24 / 6) * 7 = 4 * 7 = 28 years My age after 5 years = my father’s age at his wedding = 28 years My current age = 28 – 5 = 23 years
