    Answer : Option B

    Explanation :

    Let the present ages of Binoy and Alisha be 5x and 6x years respectively.


    After 3 years.

    (5x+3)/6x+3)  =  6/7

    =>36x + 18 = 35x + 21

    => x = 21 - 18

    =>x = 3

    Alisha's age eight years ago = 6x - 8

    = 6 * 3 - 8

    =10 years
