    D 28 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    9 years ago from now, let ages of ‘R’ and ‘L’ be ‘2x’ years and ‘5x’ years, respectively. So, 5x – 2x = 9 Or, 3x = 9 Or, x = 3 Present age of ‘L’ = 5x + 5 = 5 × 3 + 5 = 20 years Age of ‘L’, five years hence from now = 20 + 5 = 25 years
