      D 20 yrs Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ,

      Let the present ages of Priya and Tina be 2a and 5a years respectively.

      ATQ:

      (2a+8):(5a+8)=5:11

      Or, 11×(2a+8)=5×(5a+8)

      Or, 22a+88=25a+40

      Or, 3a=48

      Or, a=16

      Therefore, present age of Priya = 2×16=32 years
