Correct Answer: 4 years


Solution : Given:
The age of the wife was 35 years and the age of the son was 7 years.

According to the question –
The age of the wife when her son was born was (35 – 7) = 28 years
But, the age of the man was 32 years old when his son was born.
Therefore, the difference in age between the man and his wife is (32 – 28) = 4 years.

So, the difference in age between the man and his wife is 4 years. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
