    C 30 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 18 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E 27 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let D’s age be x years. Then, T’s age = 3x years According to question, => (3x – 5)/(x - 5) = 4/1 => 3x - 5 = 4x – 20 => x = 15 T’s age = 3x = 45 years P’s age = 2/3 × 45 = 30 years
