      D 55 yrs Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ,

      Let the present age of Nitin = y years

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

      According to the question,

      (y - 4):(60 - y - 4) = 6:7

      β‡’ 7(y - 4) = 6(56 - y)

      β‡’ 7y - 28 = 336 - 6y

      β‡’ 13y = 364

      β‡’ y = 364 Γ· 13 = 28

      So, present age of Sumit = 60 - 28 = 32 years
