    D 5 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ, Present age of Y = 25 - 5 = 20 years
    Present age of X = 1.6 × 20 = 32 years
    Let the required time be T years.
    So, (32 + T) : (20 + T) = 13 : 9
    Or, 9 × (32 + T) = 13 × (20 + T)
    Or, 288 + 9T = 260 + 13T
    Or, 4T = 28
    Or, T = 7
