  • Options
  • A. 58 years
  • B. 60 years
  • C. 63 years
  • D. 68 years

  • Correct Answer
  • 63 years 

    Explanation

    Let us assume the present age of son be x then present of Deepak be 3x.
    Five years hence, the ratio of their ages will be 34 : 13 respectively.
    then according to question,
    (3x + 5)/(x + 5) = 34/13
    ? (3x + 5) 13 = 34 (x + 5)
    ? 39x + 65 = 34x + 170
    ? 5x = 105
    ? x = 21
    Hence, present age of Deepak = 3x = 3 x 21 = 63
