- A. 20
- B. 20
- C. 20
- D. 20
Answer: Option B
Explanation:
Ten years ago the age of Tanvir = x
Ten years ago the age of Jashim = 3x
The present age of Tanvir = x + 10
The present age of Jashim = 3x + 10
So 3x + 10 + 5 = 2(x + 10 + 5) + 10
= )3x + 15 = 2x + 30 + 10
= )x = 40 - 15
= )x = 25
The present age of Tanvir is (25 + 10) = 35 years
