The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will define the ages of Rahul, Ajay, and their wives based on the information provided. ### Step 1: Define Variables Let: - \( A \) = Age of Ajay - \( R \) = Age of Rahul - \( R_w \) = Age of Rahul's wife - \( A_w \) = Age of Ajay's wife ### Step 2: Set Up Equations Based on Given Information From the problem statement, we have the following relationships: 1. Rahul's age is 5 years more than Ajay's age: \[ R = A + 5 \] 2. Rahul's wife is 6 years younger than Rahul: \[ R_w = R - 6 \] 3. Ajay's wife is 1 year older than Rahul's wife: \[ A_w = R_w + 1 \] ### Step 3: Substitute Rahul's Age into the Wife's Age Equation Substituting the expression for \( R \) into the equation for \( R_w \): \[ R_w = (A + 5) - 6 = A - 1 \] ### Step 4: Substitute into Ajay's Wife's Age Equation Now we can substitute \( R_w \) into the equation for \( A_w \): \[ A_w = (A - 1) + 1 = A \] ### Step 5: Analyze the Results From the equations, we find: - Ajay's age \( A \) is equal to Ajay's wife's age \( A_w \). - Rahul's age \( R \) is 5 years older than Ajay's age. ### Conclusion Thus, we can conclude: - Ajay's age and Ajay's wife's age are the same. ### Final Answer The correct statement is that Ajay's age and Ajay's wife's age are the same.

To solve the problem step by step, we will define the ages of Rahul, Ajay, and their wives based on the information provided. ### Step 1: Define Variables Let: - \( A \) = Age of Ajay - \( R \) = Age of Rahul - \( R_w \) = Age of Rahul's wife - \( A_w \) = Age of Ajay's wife ...
