Answer 2

Let x be the common proportionate of both their ages

Then,

Duryodhana's age will be 5x and Dhushyasana's age will be 4x

Their ages five years before would be 5x-5 and 4x-5 respectively

Now,

Case 1:

$\sf{ \frac{5x - 5}{4x - 5} = \frac{4}{3} }$

→15x-15=16x-20

→x= 5

Case 2:

$\sf{ \frac{5x - 5}{4x - 5 }= \frac{3}{2} }$

→10x-10=8x-15

→2x= -5

→x= -5/2

Case 3:

$\sf{ \frac{5x - 5}{4 x- 5} = \frac{9}{7} }$

→35x-35=36x-45

→x=10

Case 4:

$\sf{ \frac{5x - 5}{4x - 5} = \frac{8}{7} }$

→35x-35=32x-40

→3x=-5

→x= -5/3

Thus,options (b) and (d) are wrong
