1.  The average age of husband, wife and their child 3 years ago was 27 years and that of wife and the child 5 years ago was 20 years. The present age of the husband is :

A. 35 years
B. 40 years
C. 50 years
D. None of these

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Sum of the present ages of husband, wife and child
  = (27 x 3 + 3 x 3) years = 90 years.

Sum of the present ages of wife and child
 = (20 x 2 + 5 x 2) years = 50 years.

Husband's present age = (90 - 50) years = 40 years.
