Solution

Let the present age of Manisha be 5a

The present age of Deepali = Xa

The present age of Praneeta = 5a+9

Praneeta's age after 9 years = 5a+18=33

5a=15

a=3

The difference between Deepali's and Manisha's age is the same as the present age of Parineeta

Xa-5a=5a+9

3X-15=15+9

3X=39 ==> X=13

D is the correct answer.
