A) 21 yr

B) 24 yr

C) 30 yr

D) 40 yr

Correct Answer:
C) 30 yr

Description for Correct answer:
Let the present ages of Maya and Chhaya are 6x and 5x yr, respectively.

According to the question, After 15 yr,

\( \large\frac{6x + 15}{5x + 15} = \frac{9}{8} \)

48x + 120 = 45x + 135

3x = 15

x = 5

Hence, present age of Maya = 5 x 6 = 30 yr
