32 years

- The total age of Amit and Suvarna on 1 January 2015 is 61 years.

- Amit is three years younger than Suvarna, meaning Suvarna's age is Amit's age plus three years.

- Let’s assume Amit's age on 1 January 2015 is \( x \). Then Suvarna’s age would be \( x + 3 \).

- According to their total ages, \( x + (x + 3) = 61 \).

- Simplifying, \( 2x + 3 = 61 \) leads to \( 2x = 58 \), so \( x = 29 \).

- Therefore, Amit is 29, and Suvarna is 32 years old on 1 January 2015.

- To find Suvarna's age on 1 January 2010, subtract 5 years: \( 32 - 5 = 27 \).

- Option 1: 27 years

- Option 2: 24 years

- Option 3: 29 years

- Option 4: 32 years

- The correct answer is Option 1: 27 years.
