Answer : 2. "13 years"
Explanation :
Answer: B) 13 years Explanation: Given R + S + M + D = 76 => R+7 : S+7 : M+7 : D+7 = 7:6:5:8 => Let the ratio = x => M+7 = 5x => M = 5x-7 => R = 7x-7 => S = 6x-7 => D = 8x-7 => R + S + M + D = 76 => 7x-7 + 6x-7 + 5x-7 + 8x-7 = 76 => 26x - 28 = 76 => 26x = 104 => x = 4 => Mahesh's present age = 5x-7 = 20 - 7 = 13 years.
