    B Both I and III Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    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 .
