    D 12 yrs Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Let present ages be:

    Ravi = p

    Manoj = q

    (p + 4) + (q + 4) = 60

    ⇒ p + q = 52 ——— (i)

    p - 12 = q - 12 - 10

    ⇒ p = q - 10 ——— (ii)

    (q - 10) + q = 52

    2q = 62

    q = 31

    Manoj's age in 3 years = 31 + 3 = 34 years
