- Let's denote the present age of A as 7x and the present age of B as 8x according to the given ratio 7:8.

- After 6 years, A's age will be 7x + 6 and B's age will be 8x + 6.

- It's given that the ratio of their ages after 6 years will be 8:9.

- This means (7x + 6)/(8x + 6) = 8/9.

- Solving this equation for x, we find the present age of A is 42 years.

- C's age is 10 years more than A's, which means C's present age is 42 + 10 = 52 years.

- Option 2: 52 is the correct age of C.
