  3. 30 years
  4. 35 years

Correct answer and explanation

Correct answer: 25 years

Explanation: ✅ Correct Answer: A. 25 years 📚 Explanation: Let Ajay's age at marriage be x. His present age is (x + 6), and also (5/4)x. Equating these: x + 6 = 1.25x, which gives 0.25x = 6, so x = 24. At marriage, Ajay was 24 and his sister was 24 - 5 = 19. Today, six years later, his sister's age is 19 + 6 = 25 years.
