correct answer is: 25 years Explanation: Let the present ages of Suraj and Mohan be $S$ and $M$ respectively. Four years ago, their ages were in the ratio 7:8, leading to the equation $\frac{S-4}{M-4} = \frac{7}{8}$ After five years, their ages will be in the ratio 10:11, giving $\frac{S+5}{M+5} = \frac{10}{11}$ Solving these equations simultaneously yields $S = 25$ years. OPTION a (24 years): Does not satisfy the given ratios. OPTION b (25 years): Satisfies both the past and future age ratios. OPTION c (28 years): Does not satisfy the given ratios. OPTION d (21 years): Does not satisfy the given ratios. Akhilesh ? answered Mar 30 '25 at 21:39
