Correct Answer: 35 years


Solution : Let the present age of Rahim be x years and her daughter be y years.
Given: x = 5y
According to the question,
x + 7 = 3(y + 7)
⇒ x + 7 = 3y + 21
Putting the value of x, we get:
5y + 7 = 3y + 21
⇒ 2y = 14
⇒ y = 7
So, x = 5y = 5 × 7 = 35
Hence, the correct answer is 35 years.
