    E.

    30

    Correct option is E


    Information given:
    The ratio of present age of A to B’s is 3 : 2
    Five years ago, A age was twice than that of B age at that time
    Five years hence, sum of ages of A and B is equal to C age at that time
    Explanation:
    Let present age of B = x
    Present age of A = 1.5x
    B age five years ago = x – 5
    A age five years ago = 2(x-5) = 2x – 10
    But A age five years ago also equals to (1.5x – 5)
    2x – 10 = 1.5x – 5
    0.5x = 5
    x = 10
    C age five years hence = 10 + 5 + 1.5 × 10 + 5
    = 15 + 15 + 5
    = 35
    C present age = 35 – 5 = 30 years
