    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the present age of boy be ‘x’ years. 140% of age of boy 5 years before = 65% of age of boy after 10 years = > (140/100)×(x - 5) = (65/100)×(x + 10) = > 140(x - 5) = 65(x + 10) = > 140x - 700 = 65x + 650 = > 75x = 1350 = > x = 18 yrs
