Solution

Let's solve this step by step:

Step 1: Let's assume Kamla's age at the time of her marriage was 'x' years.

Step 2: According to the problem, Kamla's current age is 11/4 times her age at the time of marriage. So, her current age is 11x/4 years.

Step 3: The problem also states that Kamla got married 6 years ago. So, her current age is also 'x + 6' years.

Step 4: Now, we can set up the equation 11x/4 = x + 6.

Step 5: To solve for 'x', we first multiply each side of the equation by 4 to get rid of the fraction: 11x = 4x + 24.

Step 6: Then, we subtract 4x from each side to isolate 'x': 11x - 4x = 24, which simplifies to 7x = 24.

Step 7: Finally, we divide each side by 7 to solve for 'x': x = 24/7, which simplifies to x = 3.43 (approximately).

Step 8: Now, we know that Kamla's age at the time of her marriage was approximately 3.43 years. But age is always a whole number, so we round it up to 4 years.

Step 9: The problem states that Kamla's son's age is 1/10 times her current age. So, her son's age is (11/4) * 4 * (1/10) = 11/10 = 1.1 years.

Step 10: Again, since age is always a whole number, we round 1.1 up to the nearest whole number, which is 2.

So, Kamla's son's age is 2 years.
