    B 16 yrs Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 22 yrs Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 29 yrs Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ, Let the present ages of 'Aman' and 'Bishnu' be '3x' years and '4x' years, respectively. (3x - 2) × 1.4 = (4x - 2) Or, 4.2x - 2.8 = 4x - 2 Or, 0.2x = 0.8 So, x = 4 So, present age of 'Bishnu' = 4x = 4 × 4 = 16 years
