    C 68 yrs Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 58 yrs Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Sum of present ages of 'Sonia' and 'Ayesha' = 50 + 2 + 2 = 54 years

    Present age of 'Ayesha' = (16/25) × 54 = 34.56 ≈ 35 years (rounded)

    Therefore, the age of 'Ayesha' three years from now = 35 + 3 = 38 years
