Correct Answer: 54
Solution : Given: The ratio of the present ages of Aman and Ankit is 2 : 1.
Let Aman's present age be 2y and Ankit's present age be y. The sum of their present ages is 72 years. ⇒ 2y + y = 72 ⇒ 3y = 72 ⇒ y = 24 Aman's present age = 2 × 24 = 48 years Aman's age after 6 years = 48 + 6 = 54 years.
Hence, the fourth option is correct.
