Correct Answer: 12 years


Solution : Given:
A man was 31 years old when his son was born.

When their son was 7 years old, his wife's age = 26 years
Wife's age when the son was born = (26 – 7) = 19 years

Therefore, the difference between the man's age and his wife's age = (31 – 19) = 12 years

So, the difference between their ages is 12 years. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
