Correct Answer - Option 2 : 28
The ratio of the present ages of M and N is 7 : 6.
Let the common multiple be x.
So, the present age of M = 7x and the present age of N = 6x.
The sum of the present age of M and N is 52 years.
According to question:
7x + 6x = 52
13x = 52
x = 4
Age of M = 7x
= 7 × 4 = 28 years
Age of N = 6x
= 6 × 4 = 24
Hence, the age of M is 28 years.
