1. ans is C.
   let H be present age of husaband.W be present age of wife.
   H+W=91.
   now let diff between their ages be x.that is H-W=x.
   now when husband is W yaers old, his wife must be W-x years
   old.and it is given that H=2(W-x). so 2W-H=2x. and H-
   W=x.eliminating x we get 4W=3H. but H+W=91, so solving thse
   two H=52 W=39.
