    C 21 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 22 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let Sweta's present age be x. Then Umesh's present age = x + 13. Eight years ago: Sweta's age = x - 8 Umesh's age = x + 5 Given: x + 5 = 14(x - 8) тЗТ x + 5 = 14x - 112 тЗТ -13x = -117 тЗТ x = 9 So, Umesh's present age = x + 13 = 9 + 13 = 22
