Question
Ira is 8 years old. Her mother is 40 years old. The age of Ira's mother when Ira was born is __________ years.
- 24
- 32
- 38
- 83
The correct answer is: 32
By subtracting Ira’s age from her mother’s age, we get
40 – 8 = 32 yrs
Present age of ira = 8 years
Present age of mother = 40 years
Age of mother 8 years ago = 40 -8 = 32 years.
