Answer : Option D
Explanation :
Let ages of Ramu and Shyam be x and y respectively.
x/y = 3/4 => x = 3/4 y
(x- 7)/(y - 7) = 2/3
=> 3x - 21 = 2y - 14 => 3x = 2y + 7
But x = 3/4 y
3 * 3/4 y = 2y + 7
9y = 8y + 28 => y = 28years
=> x = 21 years
Ratio of their ages five years hence, (21 + 5)/(28 + 5) = 26/33.
