    B 12 yrs Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 18 yrs Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 10 yrs Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Let the ages of the sisters be '7x' years and '5x' years, respectively.

    ATQ:

    '7x' - '5x' = 6

    Or, 2x = 6

    Or, 'x' = 3

    Therefore, the age of the younger sister = 5x = 5 × 3 = 15 years
