Correct Answer: 15
Solution : Given: The ratio of present ages of A and B is 5 : 7 ⇒A's present age = 5 × Y ⇒B's present age = 7 × Y The age of B after 10 years is 31 years, ⇒(7 × Y) + 10 = 31 ⇒(7 × Y) = 31 – 10 = 21 ⇒Y = 21 ÷ 7 = 3 ⇒Y = 3
Therefore, the present age of A is 5 × Y = 5 × 3 = 15 years. Hence, the second option is correct.
