Answer:
Correct Answer: C
Solution:
- Let Parul’s present age be 7x and Rohit’s present age be 5x.
Then, $ 7x+5x+10=94 $
$ \Rightarrow $ $ 12x=84 $
$ \Rightarrow $ $ x=7 $
So, Parul’s present age $ =7\times 7=49,yr $
Rohit’s present age $ =5\times 7=35,yr $
After 14 yr Rohit’s age will be equal to parul’s present age.
