      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' = 18 + 6 = 24 years
      Present age of 'B' = (3/2) × 24 = 36 years
      Required sum = 24 + 4 + 36 + 4 = 68 years
      So, statement I is true. Statement II:
      Present age of 'A' = 21 + 6 = 27 years
      Present age of 'B' = (5/3) × 27 = 45 years
      Required sum = 27 + 4 + 45 + 4 = 80 years
      So, statement II is not true. Statement III:
      Present age of 'A' = 22 + 6 = 28 years
      Present age of 'B' = (5/4) × 28 = 35 years
      Required sum = 28 + 4 + 35 + 4 = 71 years
      So, statement III is not true. Therefore, only statement I is true. Hence, option E .
