    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Let the present age of Rohit be ‘x’ years.

    Present age of Ankit = ‘x – 3’ years

    Present age of Suman = ‘x + 5’ years

    According to the question,

    (x – 3 + 5)/(x + 5 + 5) = 3/4

    Or, (x + 2)/(x + 10) = 3/4

    Or, 4(x + 2) = 3(x + 10)

    Or, 4x + 8 = 3x + 30

    Or, x = 22

    So, present age of Rohit = 22 years
