    The present age of A is 5/2 times to that of his

    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the age of A when he was married be x years. Present age of A = 5x/2 Present age of his brother = (1/5) × (5x/2) = x/2 According to Question, => x + 36 = 5/2x => 3/2x = 36 => x = 24 years Present age of his brother = (1/2) × 24 = 12 years
