Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
Let the Parvati age be x and Sankar’s age be 4x.
So as per question, 4x + 5 = 3(x + 5). So x = 10.
Hence present age of Parvati is 10 years and present age of Sankar is 40 years.
So after 5 + 5 = 10 years, Parvati age would be 20 years and Sankar’s age would be 50 years.
Hence Sankar would be 50/20 = 2.5 times of Parvati’s age.
