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.
