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?
- A. 25 years
- B. 24 years
- C. 23 years ✓
- 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.
