    C 64 yrs Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 27 yrs Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ, Let present ages of A and B be 11x and 9x years. (11x + 10)/(9x - 18) = 3/1 ⇒ 11x + 10 = 27x - 54 ⇒ 16x = 64 ⇒ x = 4 Sum = 11x + 9x = 20x = 80 Therefore, C = 0.80 × 80 = 64 years
