Incorrect Answer64 years
Incorrect AnswerExplanation:
Correct option 3: 66 years
Let the present age of Mitali and Shabnam be 4x and 7x.
Mitali's age after 5 years will be 4x + 5,
The difference between present age of Shabnam and Mitali's age after 5 years = 7x - (4x + 5) = 13
7x-4x-5= 13
3x = 13 +5
3x = 18
x = 6
Hence present ages of Mitali and Shabnam will be 24 and 42. Sum of the present age of Mitali and Shabnam = 24 + 42 = 66
Hence, 66 is the correct answer.
