Ena was born 4 years after her parents' marriage. Her mother is 3 years younger than her father and 24 years older than Ena, who is 13 years old. At what age did Ena's father get married?

  1. A. 25 years
  2. B. 24 years
  3. C. 23 years
  4. D. 22 years

Correct Answer: C. 23 years

Explanation

Ena's current age = 13. Mother's age = 13 + 24 = 37. Father's age = 37 + 3 = 40. Ena was born 13 years ago, which was 4 years after the marriage. Thus, the marriage took place 13 + 4 = 17 years ago. Father's age at marriage = 40 - 17 = 23 years.
