Answer 2

Answer:

Option C, 10 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the ages of Mr. X and Mr. Y be x and y respectively.

Given:

x/y = 3/2

=> 2x = 3y

=> 3y - 2x = 0 --- (1)

x - y = 5 --- (2) × 2

Add (1) and (2)

3y - 2x = 0

+ -2y + 2x = 10

----------------------

y = 10

Therefore, Mr. Y's Age is 10.
