The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, let's break down the information given in the question: 1. **Identify Varun's Age**: - Varun is currently 10 years old. 2. **Determine Varun's Mother's Age**: - The mother is 20 years older than Varun. - Therefore, Mother's Age = Varun's Age + 20 = 10 + 20 = 30 years. 3. **Determine Varun's Father's Age**: - The father is 5 years older than the mother. - Therefore, Father's Age = Mother's Age + 5 = 30 + 5 = 35 years. 4. **Calculate Father's Age When Varun Was Born**: - Varun was born 10 years ago, so we subtract Varun's age from the father's current age. - Father's Age when Varun was born = Father's Current Age - Varun's Age = 35 - 10 = 25 years. 5. **Determine Father's Age at Marriage**: - Varun was born 2 years after his father got married. - Therefore, Father's Age at Marriage = Father's Age when Varun was born - 2 = 25 - 2 = 23 years. Thus, the father got married at the age of **23 years**.
