Answer 1

Answer:

D. 46 years

The ratio of the present age of Kavitha to that Sunitha = 4:13(4x, 13x) Chandra = Sunitha + 15 Chandra’s age after 8 years = 75 Chandra’s present age = 75 – 8 = 67 Sunitha’s present age = 67 – 15 = 52 13x= 52 x= 4 The present age of Kavitha = 16 Kavitha’s mother = Kavitha + 30 = 16 + 30 = 46 years
