The quantity for ages 25 and 20 next birthday given in the Table is .334
So that the addition of 5 years to the age of the wife results in an addition of .04 to the quantity given in the Table for ages 25 and 15 next birthday.
An addition of 4 years to the age of the wife accordingly results by proportion in an addition of four-fifths of .04 to the quantity given in the Table for the ages 25 and 15 next birthday.
Four-fifths of .04 = .032, which when added to .294 gives .326 which is the required quantity corresponding to ages 25 and 19 next birthday.
TABLE B—This Table is divided into twelve sections. The first eleven sections are respectively applicable to officers who will be aged next birthday 55, 56, 57, and so on for each year up to 65, when they complete their period of contribution after having contributed for 35 successive years. The twelfth section is applicable to officers who will cease to contribute on attaining the age of 65 years without having contributed for 35 successive years.
In each section quantities are given for consecutive ages of the husband, and for every fifth ages of the wife.
Age of the wife younger than the youngest or older than the oldest age quoted in whichever section of Table B is applicable in the circumstance of the case in question are to be dealt with as if identical with the youngest and oldest age respectively as shown in the Table.
For the intermediate ages of wives, interpolate by exact fifths in the manner indicated in the example given for Table A in this section, but where to do so would give a figure of more than two decimal points, that figure shall be taken to its nearest hundredth part of a unit. Thus, the quantity found from the first section of Table B (age 55 next birthday) corresponding to the ages of a husband and wife aged respectively 40 and 33 next birthday is three-fifths of .4, added to 2.39, which gives 2.63.
For officers who commence to contribute at an earlier age than 20 next birthday the method of calculation given in the subjoined example is to be followed.
EXAMPLE (1)—
An officer aged 17 next birthday, having a wife aged 17 next birthday, commences to contribute. Assume that the officer is aged 20 next birthday and apply the first section of Table B. The quantity thus found is 7.67 (i.e. 7.23 + two-fifths of 1.1).
This officer receives an increment of salary at age 22 next birthday, when his wife's age is also 22 next birthday. Assume that his age is 25 next birthday (i.e. his actual age next birthday plus the difference between his actual age next birthday at date of commencement of contribution and the age of 20 next birthday, which in this Example is 3). On this assumption, the quantity found from the same section of Table B will be 6.44 (i.e. 6.04 + two-fifths of 1).
EXAMPLE (2)—
An officer aged 19 next birthday commences to contribute as a bachelor, and five years later, when aged 24 next birthday, marries, his wife's age being 20 next birthday. The quantity found from Table A in accordance with rule I(a) will be taken for the actual ages next birthday (husband 24 and wife 20) and will be .351. With respect to the current annual contribution at marriage, assume that the officer's age next birthday is 25 (i.e. his
