    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Let the age of 'F' and 'G', seven years ago be '2a' and '3a' years, respectively.

    So, (2a + 7 + 5) : (3a + 7 + 5) = 3 : 4

    Or, 4 ├Ч (2a + 12) = 3 ├Ч (3a + 12)

    Or, 8a + 48 = 9a + 36

    Or, a = 12

    Required age = 3 ├Ч 12 + 7 - 2 = 41 years
