    Explanation

    Let x and y be the ten's and unit's digits respectively of the numeral denoting the woman's age. Then, woman's age = (10X + y) years; So, husband's age = (10y + x) years. Therefore (10y + x) - (10X + y) = (1/11) (10y + x + 10x + y) ⇒ (9y - 9x) = (1/11)(11y + 11x) = (x + y) ⇒ 10x = 8y ⇒ x = (4/5)y Clearly, y should be a single-digit multiple of 5, which is 5. So, x = 4, y = 5. Hence, woman's age = 10x + y = 45 years.
