A 46 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
B 60 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
C 53 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
D 48 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

Solution

Let D’s age be x years. Then, T’s age = 3x years According to question, => (3x – 4)/(x - 4) = 4/1 => 3x - 4 = 4x – 16 => x = 12 T’s age = 3x = 36 years P’s age = 5/3 × 36 = 60 years
