Answer:
Correct Answer: E
Solution:
- Present age of Radha = x yr
According to the question,
$ x+3=2,(x-12) $
$ \Rightarrow $ $ x+3=2x-24 $
$ \therefore $ $ x=27 $
Present age of Raj: Present age of Radha
$ \therefore $ Present age of Raj $ =\frac{27}{9}\times 4=12 $
After 5 yr, age of Raj $ =12+5=17,yr $
