Solution

The correct option is A 15 years
Let present age of Aman be x.
Then, his age before 10 years =x10
and his age after 20 years =x+20
We are given that, his age after 20 years (x+20) is 7 times his age 10 years back (x10)
Therefore, (x+20)=7(x10)
x+20=7x70
6x=90
x=15 years
Hence, the present age of Aman is 15 years.
