    B) 100 yr

    C) 70 yr                            

    D) 40 yr

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Let the ages of two persons be\[4x\] and \[7x\] respectively.
    According to the question,
    \[7x-4x=30\]
    \[\Rightarrow \]               \[3x=30\]\[\Rightarrow \]\[x=40\]
    Age of first person \[=4\times 10=40\,\,yr\]
    Age of second person \[=7\times 10=70\,\,yr\]
    Sum of their ages \[=40+70=110\,\,yr\]
