Correct Answer: 45 years
Solution : Let the man's present age be A, his wife's present age be B, and his son's age be C.
As per the given information, The man is 3 years older than his wife ⇒ A = B + 3 The man's age is four times the age of his son's age ⇒ A = 4 × C = 4C
After 3 years, the man's son's age = 15 years Thus, his present age = 15 – 3 = 12 years, i.e., C = 12 If C = 12, then A = 4 × 12 = 48 years ⇒ A = B + 3 ⇒ B = A – 3 = 48 – 3 = 45 years
So, the man's wife's present age is 45 years. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
