Explanation

Calculate Ena's Mother's Age:

Ena's mother's age = Ena's age + 24 years Ena's mother's age = $13 + 24 = 37$ years Calculate Ena's Father's Age:

Ena's father's age = Ena's mother's age + 3 years Ena's father's age = $37 + 3 = 40$ years Determine the Age Difference Between Ena's Father and Ena:

Age difference = Ena's father's age - Ena's age Age difference = $40 - 13 = 27$ years Calculate the Age of Ena's Father at the Time of Marriage:

Ena's father's age at marriage = Ena's father's current age - (Ena's age + 4 years) Ena's father's age at marriage = $40 - (13 + 4) = 40 - 17 = 23$ years
