A husband and wife have a combined age of 91. The husband is
now twice as old as his wife was when he was as old as she is
now. How old is wife?

Answer Posted / karan_intouch

let current age be H and W

H + W = 91

also the let the Y years before Husband is same age as
Wife's current age:

H - Y = W

Also, husband is currently twice the age of wife's age Y
years ago.

H = 2 ( W - Y)

Solving FOR Y FIRST:
2W - 2Y = H
W - Y = H
=================
W=3Y

Now, H =2(2Y)=4Y

7Y= 91
so, Y =91/7=13
so W=39 and H=52

Is This Answer Correct ?    42 Yes 4 No
