Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

  • Let the present ages of Manoj and Wasim be 3x yr and 11x yr, respectively. According to the question,
    $ 11x=85-7-12 $

$ \Rightarrow $ $ 11x=66 $

$ \therefore $ $ x=6 $

$ \therefore $ Present age of Manoj $ =3\times 6=18yr $ Hence, present age of Manoj’s father $ =18+25=43yr $
