Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Let Reena's present age be y years.
Umesh's present age = 7y (given).
After 6 years: Umesh = 7y + 6; Reena = y + 6.
Given relation: Umesh after 6 years = 4 × Reena after 6 years, so 7y + 6 = 4(y + 6).
Solve the equation: 7y + 6 = 4y + 24 ⇒ 3y = 18 ⇒ y = 6.
Therefore Umesh's present age = 7 × 6 = 42 years.
