chaitanya  (11 years ago)

let the present ages of the man and his wife be 4x and 3x

then (4x+4)/(3x+4)= 9/7
[since given that after four years their ages will be 9/7]

by solving it we have x=8

so their present ages are 32 and 24 respectively

now suppose if they were married X years ago,

then (32-X)/(24-X)=5/3

by solving it we have 2X=24
so X=12

so they were married 12 years ago
