      D 36 yrs Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ Let the ages of Ram and Shyam 8 years ago be '5y' years and '6y' years, respectively. So, age of Prem 8 years ago = (5y - 3) years. ATQ, 4 × (5y + 12) = 3 × (6y + 15) 20y + 48 = 18y + 45 20y - 18y = 45 - 48 y = 3 Since, 13 is the second smallest two-digit prime number. So, 'b' = 13 Therefore, age of Ram, 13 years hence = 5y + 8 + 13 = 5 × 3 + 21 = 36 years
