    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' = 11 + 5 = 16 years
    Present age of 'B' = (3/2) × 16 = 24 years
    Required sum = 16 + 3 + 24 + 3 = 46 years
    So, statement I is true. Statement II:
    Present age of 'A' = 16 + 5 = 21 years
    Present age of 'B' = (4/3) × 21 = 28 years
    Required sum = 21 + 3 + 28 + 3 = 55 years
    So, statement II is true. Statement III:
    Present age of 'A' = 20 + 5 = 25 years
    Present age of 'B' = (7/5) × 25 = 35 years
    Required sum = 25 + 3 + 35 + 3 = 66 years
    So, statement III is true. Therefore, all statements I, II and III are true. Hence, option A .
