      C Both II and III Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Both I and II Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E Only I Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Statement I:
      Present age of 'A' = 10 + 5 = 15 years
      Present age of 'B' = (5/3) × 15 = 25 years
      Required sum = 15 + 3 + 25 + 3 = 46 years
      So, statement I is true. Statement II:
      Present age of 'A' = 15 + 5 = 20 years
      Present age of 'B' = (3/2) × 20 = 30 years
      Required sum = 20 + 3 + 30 + 3 = 56 years
      So, statement II is true. Statement III:
      Present age of 'A' = 11 + 5 = 16 years
      Present age of 'B' = (5/4) × 16 = 20 years
      Required sum = 16 + 3 + 20 + 3 = 42 years
      So, statement III is not true. Therefore, both statements I and II are true. Hence, option D .
