Question

A woman says, "If you reverse my own age, the figures represent my husband's age. He is, of course, senior to me and the difference between our ages is one-eleventh of their sum. The age of the woman is:

• A. 23 years
• B. 34 years
• C. 45 years
• D. 56 years
• E. None of these

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

45 years

Clearly we can check the options. The age of the woman is 45. So the age of her husband is 54.
Difference is 9 years which is equal to $\frac{1}{11}(45+54)$.
