Correct Answer: 47 years


Solution : Given:
(I) The sum of the present ages of Vishal and Aditi is 105 years.
(II) If Aditi is 25 years younger than Vishal

According to the statements –
(I) V's age + A's age = 105
(II) A's age = V's age – 25
⇒V's age = A's age + 25 (Put the value of V's age in equation I)
⇒A's age + 25 + A's age = 105
2 × A's age + 25 = 105
2 × A's age = 80
A's age = 40
Pritam's age = 7 + A's age; Pritam's age = 7 + 40 = 47

So, the present age of Pritam is 47 years. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
