    B 45 yrs Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 38 yrs Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 32 yrs Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ, Let the present age of ‘Qureshi’ and ‘Raju’ be 3x and 2x, respectively Therefore, present age of ‘Pawan’ = (3x – 8) years Also, present age of ‘Pawan’ = (2x + 8) years Therefore,  3x – 8 = 2x + 8 Or, x = 16 Therefore, present age of ‘Pawan’ = 3x – 8 = 40 years
