A) 15 yr

B) 20 yr

C) 37 yr

D) 10 Yr

Correct Answer:

D) 10 Yr

Description for Correct answer:

Let x yr before, the ratio of their ages was 3 : 5.

According to the question,

40−x60−x=35

200 - 5x = 180 - 3x = 2x => 20

x = 10

Answer 2

Answer:

18 is the answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Let their ages be x

So,

3x + 5x = 48

8x = 48

x = 48/8

x = 6

Harsh = 3*6 = 18

Rajesh = 5*6 = 30

Check = 30 + 18 = 48
