If age of Ram’s wife in 4 years will be same as Ram’s age before 2 years and Ram’s wife will be 50 when Ram’s child becomes a man of Ram’s age. If sum of all the ages of the family is 66. What is the age of Ram? Correct Answer 32

Let the age of Ram at present be ‘x’

⇒ Age of Ram two years ago = x – 2

⇒ Age of Ram’s wife at present + 4 = x – 2

⇒ Age of Ram’s wife at present = x – 6

⇒ Number of years after which Ram’s wife will be 50 = 50 – Present age

= 50 – x + 6 = 56 – x

⇒ Present age of Ram’s child + Number of years after which Ram’s wife will be 50 = Present age of Ram

⇒ Present age of Ram’s child + 56 – x = x

⇒ Present age of Ram’s child = 2x – 56

⇒ Sum of their ages = x + x – 6 + 2x – 56 = 4x – 62 = 66

∴ x = 32
