Correct Answer: 29 years


Solution : Given:
The average age of the present ages of Amit and Anil = 32 years

Let Anil's present age be x years.
So, Amit's present age = (x + 6) years
The average age of the present ages of Amit and Anil is 32 years
⇒ x + x + 6 = 32 × 2
⇒ 2x + 6 = 64
⇒ x = 29

So, Anil's present age is 29 years. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
