    D 23 yrs Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E none of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ, Let, the present age of 'V' be '5v' years So, the present age of 'B' = 1.4 × 5v = 7v years ATQ, 5v + 5 = 7v - 5 2v = 10 v = 5 So, the average age of 'V' and 'B', after three years from now = 5 × {(5 + 7) /2} + 3 = 33 year
