    C 76 yrs Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 56 yrs Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ, Sum of present ages of Rajesh and his father = 45×2 = 90 years Let the present age of Rajesh be 'x' years. Then, present age of Rajesh's father = 90−x years. According to the question, (x+5)×4 = (90−x) 4x+20 = 90−x 5x = 70 x = 70/5 = 14 So, present age of Rajesh's father = 90−14 = 76 years.
