Correct option is D 24 years.

$\huge\pink{\fbox{\tt{࿐Solution࿐}}}$

Let the sum of the ages of A=5x and B=3x

Then after 6 years, their ages are in ratio 7:5

$∴ \frac{5x + 6}{3x + 6} = \frac{7}{5}$

$∴ 25x+30=21x+42$

$4x=12$

$x=3$

$Present age of A= 5x=15</p><p>Present age of B=3x=9 \\ </p><p>Sum \: of \: present age =15+9=24 years$
