    D 28 yrs Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    4 years later, let the ages of Veer and Raj be '1y' years and '3y' years, respectively

    So, present ages of Veer and Raj are (1y - 4) years and (3y - 4) years, respectively

    We have, (1y - 4) + (3y - 4) = 48

    So, 4y = 48 + 8 = 56

    So, y = 56 ÷ 4 = 14

    So, difference between ages of Veer and Raj = 3y - 1y = 2y = 2 × 14 = 28 years
