Options

A. 60 years
B. 51 years .
C. 48 years
D. 45 years

Answer

D

Explanation

Suppose the present age of son is x years
Therefore , present age of the father = 4 x years
According to question
x + 3 = 15
`therefore x = 15 - 3 = 12`years
The present age of father = 4 x = `4 xx 12 = 48` years
`therefore` The present age of man.s wife = 48 - 3 = 45 years
