    A 40 yrs Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 63 yrs Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 48 yrs Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 55 yrs Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ;
    Let the present age of ‘Suresh’ = ‘x’ years
    Present age of ‘Pankaj’ = ‘7x’ years
    ATQ;
    7x + 9 = 4 × (x + 9)
    Or, 7x + 9 = 4x + 36
    Or, 3x = 27
    Or, x = 9
    So, present age of ‘Pankaj’ = 7 × x = 7 × 9 = 63 years
