Question

A woman says,  If you reverse my own age, the figures represent my husband&#39;s age. He is, of course, senior to me and the difference between our ages is one-eleventh of their sum.  The woman&#39;s age is-A-23 yearsB-34 yearsC-45 yearsD-None of these-C-45 years

APTITUDE CRACK · Accepted Answer

The correct option is  C 45 years Explanation: Let x and y be the ten's and unit's digits respectively of the numeral denoting the woman's age.Then, woman's age = (10X + y) years; husband's age = (10y + x) years.Therefore (10y + x) (10X + y) = (1/11) (10y + x + 10x + y) (9y 9x) = (1/11)(11y + 11x) = (x + y) 10x = 8y x = (4/5)yClearly, y should be a single digit multiple of 5, which is 5.So, x = 4, y = 5.Hence, woman's age = 10x + y = 45 years.
