Options:

72

82

86

90

Correct Answer:

82

Explanation:

     Raj  :    Arun     

      9    :    10        

                   ↓  +2R   →  8years 

     11  :     12       

+2R  →  8 years 

+1R   →  4 years       

Therefore,

Raj Present age = 9 × 4 = 36 years

Arun Present age = 10 × 4 = 40 years

After 3 years, Raj age is =36 +3 = 39

                   Arun age is =40 + 3 = 43

    Sum of their ages is = 39+43 = 82
