    B 72 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 22 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 35 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E 48 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the present age of Henry be ‘h’ years. Thus, the present age of Gina = ‘5h’ years. Let the present age of Ian be ‘h + 3’ years. ATQ, (5h + 8) = 2 × (h + 3 + 8), Or, 5h + 8 = 2h + 22, Or, 5h – 2h = 22 - 8, Or, h = 7, Therefore, 5h = 35. Therefore, the current age of Gina = 35 years.
