Question

The sum of ages of 4 members of a family 5 years ago was 94 years. Today, when the daughter has been married off and replaced by a daughter-in-law, the sum of their ages is 92 years. Assuming that, there hasn't been another change in the family structure and all the people are alive, what is the difference between the ages of the daughter and that of the daughter-in-law?

• A. 22 years
• B. 11 years
• C. 25 years
• D. 19 years
• E. 15 years

Answer 1

The correct option is A 22 years

Here, sum of present age of the family $=94+20=114$ years
After replacement, present age of the family $=92$ years
Difference in the ages of the daughter and the daughter-in-law $=114-92=22$ years
