Correct Answer: 24


Solution : Given:
The ratio of the present ages of A and B is 4 : 5

Let A's present age = 4Y and B's present age = 5Y
B's age after 5 years will be 35 years.
According to the question –
⇒ 5Y + 5 = 35
⇒ 5Y = 35 – 5
⇒ 5Y = 30
⇒ Y = 30 ÷ 5
⇒ Y = 6
Therefore, A's present age→4Y = 4 × 6 = 24 years

Hence, the first option is correct.
