Answer / mansoor sarfraz

woman age = 10x + y
husband age = 10y + x
diff in ages = sum of ages/11
(10x + y) - (10y + x) = 1/11(10x + y + 10y + x)
9x - 9y = 1/11(11x + 11y)
9(x-y) = x+ y
9x - x = y + 9y
8x = 10y
x = 10y/8
put different values of y (y =1,2,3,4.........) to get
whole value of x

put y = 4, x = 5 satisfies the condition

woman age = 10(5) + 4
= 54
husband age = 45
