    E none of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ, we can say that  The age of Bijender and Shinu after 5 years = 2x and 3x yrs  So, Present ages of Bijender and Shinu = (2x – 5) and (3x – 5) yrs And Present age of Anil is = 4/5(2x – 5) 4/5(2x – 5) + (2x – 5) + (3x – 5) = 85 x = 15 Hence, the present age of Bijender is = (2x - 5) = ((2 x 15) - 5) Bijender = 25 yrs age
