- 60 years
Total age of 6 sons=6*8=48 years
If mother's age=M, So father's age=M+8
Given Age of (Father+Mother+Son)=22*8=176, So M+8+M+48=176, M=60 - 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- Total age of 6 sons =6*8=48
Total age including parents=8*22= 176
So age of parents= 176-48=128
M+F=128
But F=M+8
Therefore, M+M+8=128
2M=120
M=60.
Hence age of mother is 60 years - 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
