Best answer
Correct Answer - Option 4 : 60

Ratio of present ages of Shikha and Raj Kumar = 2 : 1

Let the present ages of Shikha and Raj Kumar = 2x and 1x

Before 15 years,

Ratio of ages of Shikha and Raj Kumar = 3 : 1

Thus, 

(2x - 15) / (1x - 15) = 3 / 1

2x - 15 = 3x - 45

x = 30

Therefore, present age of Shikha = 2 × 30 = 60 years.

Hence, 60 is correct.
