    A 12 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 8 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 10 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 24 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E 16 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let Seema’s age at the time of her marriage be x Then, present age of Seema = `3/2x` According to the question x + 12 =`3/2x` `3/2x-x` = 12 `x/2` = 12 x = 24 years Now, daughter’s age = `1/3x` + 2 = `1/3xx` 24 + 2 = 8 + 2 = 10 years
