    B 56 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 60 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 64 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Ratio of the ages of Divya and Malu after 6 years = 60:100 = 3:5 Ratio of the ages of Divya and Soni = 125:100 = 5:4 (m + 6)/(d + 6)=5/3 3m + 18=5d + 30 3m – 5d=12 s/d=4/5 d=5s/4 m – d=s m – 5s/4=s 4m – 5s=4s 4m=9s 4m/9=s d =5(4m/9)/4=5m/9 3m – 5d=12 3m-5 * (5m/9)=12 27m – 25m=12 * 9 m =54 years
