Correct Option - 1
Detailed Solution:

et the present ages be X, Y, and Z years (X – 5): (Y – 5): (Z – 5) = 2 : 4 : 5 and taking pairwise values. Substitute these values in the equation

2a + 4a + 5a = x + y + z – 15

11a = 165

a = 15

Five years ago ages were 30, 60, 75

Present ages are 35, 65, 80.

It's difficult but in some colleges you may can get 

  a + 5 b  is collinear with c  

  a + 5 b = c           …(1)

b + 6 c is collinear with a  

⇒   b + 6 c = μ a               …(2)

From (1) and (2)

  b + 6 c = μ ( λ c 5 b )          

-> ( 1 + 5 μ ) b + ( 6 λ μ ) c = 0

? b and c
