B. 30 years
C. 36 years
D. Cannot be determined
E. None of these
Answer: Option D
Solution(By Examveda Team)
Let Neelam's age be 5x years andShiny's age be 6x years
$$\eqalign{ & \left( {\frac{1}{3} \times 5x} \right):\left( {\frac{1}{2} \times 6x} \right) = 5:9 \cr & \Rightarrow \frac{{5x}}{{3 \times 3x}} = \frac{5}{9} \cr} $$
Thus, Shiny's age cannot be determined
