    D 36 yrs Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ Let the ages of Alok and Ravi 6 years ago be '7z' years and '9z' years, respectively. So, age of Rohan 6 years ago = (7z - 1) years. ATQ, 6 × (7z + 13) = 5 × (9z + 14) 42z + 78 = 45z + 70 45z - 42z = 78 - 70 z = 8/3 Since, 17 is the third smallest two-digit prime number. So, 'c' = 17 Therefore, age of Alok, 17 years hence = 7z + 6 + 17 = 7 × (8/3) + 23 = 18 + 23 = 41 years
