Reasoning Quiz No.94 Choose the word which is different from the rest.

[B].

[C].

[D].

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

Let x and y be the ten’s and unit’s digits respectively of the numeral denoting the woman’s age.

Then, woman’s age = (10X + y) years; husband’s age = (10y + x) years.

Therefore (10y + x)- (10X + y) = (1/11) (10y + x + 10x + y)

(9y-9x) = (1/11)(11y + 11x) = (x + y) 10x = 8y x = (4/5)y

Clearly, y should be a single-digit multiple of 5, which is 5.

So, x = 4, y = 5.

Hence, woman’s age = 10x + y = 45 years.
