    Answer : Option B

    Explanation :

    Let the present ages of Giri and Hari be 5x and 8x years respectively.
    (5x + 12)/(8x + 12) = 11/14
    70x + 168 = 88x + 132 => x = 2
    Difference in their ages will be the same at all times.
    This difference = Difference of their present ages
    => 8x - 5x = 3x => 6 years
