Correct Answer: 35


Solution : Given:
The ratio of present ages of L and N is 7 : 5

Let L's present age be 7y and N's present age be 5y.
The age of N after seven years will be 32 years.
⇒ 5y + 7 = 32
⇒ 5y = 25
⇒ y = 5
Therefore, L's present age = 7y = 7 × 5 = 35 years.

Hence, the second option is correct.
