Solution

Let's solve this step by step:

  1. Rajan's present age is 65 times his age at the time of his marriage. This means that if we denote his age at the time of his marriage as x, then his present age is 65x.

  2. We also know that Rajan got married 8 years ago. So, his present age is also x + 8.

  3. From the above two points, we can set up the equation 65x = x + 8. Solving this equation for x gives us x = 8/64 = 1/8 years. This means that Rajan was 1/8 years old (or about 1.5 months old) when he got married, which is not possible.

  4. There seems to be a mistake in the problem. If we assume that Rajan's present age is 6 times his age at the time of his marriage (instead of 65 times), then we can set up the equation 6x = x + 8. Solving this equation for x gives us x = 2 years. This means that Rajan was 2 years old when he got married, which is also not possible.

  5. Therefore, there seems to be a mistake in the problem. The age of Rajan's sister cannot be determined based on the information given.
