    A 45 yrs Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 34 yrs Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 65 yrs Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 55 yrs Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Let the present age of Arjun = y years

    Then, present age of Ravi = (60 - y) years

    According to the question,

    (y - 2):(60 - y - 2) = 3:4

    ⇒ 4(y - 2) = 3(58 - y)

    ⇒ 4y - 8 = 174 - 3y

    ⇒ 7y = 182

    ⇒ y = 182 ÷ 7 = 26

    So, present age of Ravi = 60 - 26 = 34 years
