    A 40 yrs Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 32 yrs Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 20 yrs Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 55 yrs Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,
    Let the present age of ‘Prakash’ = ‘x’ years
    Present age of ‘Kiran’ = ‘8x’ years
    ATQ;
    8x + 10 = 3 × (x + 10)
    Or, 8x + 10 = 3x + 30
    Or, 5x = 20
    Or, x = 4
    So, present age of ‘Kiran’ = 8 × x = 8 × 4 = 32 years
