Correct Answer: 19 years. let the age of the wife be w and the age of the husband be h Given that the average age of husband and wife is 23 Therefore, 23=w+h/2 ​ SO, w+h=46 -----(1) After five years age of the wife is w+5 and the age of the husband after five years is h+5 Given that child age is 1 year. Therefore average age of the family is (w+5)+(h+5)+1 ​ / 3 =w+h+11 ​ /3 =46+11 ​ /3 =57/3 ​ =19 years Hence A is correct answer.
