    C 7:5 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 4:3 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E 2:1 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let present age of Suzuka be '8x' years. So, present age of Novita = 8x X 1.375 = '11x' years ATQ; 11x - 8x = 15 Or, 3x = 15 So, x = 5 5 years hence from now, Age of Novita = 11x + 5 = 55 + 5 = 60 years Age of "b' = 8x + 5 = 40 + 5 = 45 years Required ratio = 60:45 = 4:3
