52 years

46 years

56 years

- Let's denote Ramesh's present age as \( x \).

- In four years, his age will be \( x + 4 \).

- Sixteen years ago, his age was \( x - 16 \).

- According to the problem, the equation is: \( x + 4 = 1.5(x - 16) \).

- Simplifying, \( x + 4 = 1.5x - 24 \).

- Rearrange to get: \( 28 = 0.5x \).

- Solving, we find \( x = 56 \).

- Option 1, 52 years: The calculation does not satisfy the equation.

- Option 2, 46 years: This age also fails the conditions.

- Option 3, 54 years: This is not the correct calculation.

- Option 4, 56 years: This satisfies the given condition.
