B 16,28,36
C 20,35,45
D None of these

Correct Answer: 16,28,36

Hints: Let the present ages be 4x, 7x, and 9x years respectively, Then, (4x - 8) + (7x - 8) + (9x - 8) = 56 20x = 80 x = 80/20 x = 4 Therefore the present ages are 4x = 16 year's 7x = 28 years 9x = 36 years অতএব, present ages 16, 28, 36 years
