    C 42 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 40 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    10 years ago from now,  (R - 10)/(L-10) = 5/7 Also given; L = R + 8 (R - 10)/(R + 8 -10) = 5/7 (R + 10)/(R - 2) = 5/7 7R - 70 = 5R - 10 2R = 60 R = 60 Present age of ‘L’ = 30 + 8 = 38 years Age of ‘L’, six years hence from now = 38 + 6 = 44 years
