    Answer : Option C

    Explanation :

    Let two years ago, the ages of Naresh and Suresh was 3X and 2X.

    So one year hence, the ages of Naresh and Suresh would be 3X+3 and 2X+3 respectively.

    As per question;

    Apti Problem on ages 21

    15X + 15= 14X + 21

    X = 6

    Present age of Naresh =3*6 + 2 = 20 years

    Present age of Suresh = 2*6 + 2 = 14 years

    ∴Sum of their present ages = 20 + 14 = 34 years
