D Correct answer
Explanation

Let Kiran's age be x, then Neena's age is 3x. After 2 years, Neena is 3x+2 and Kiran is x+2. Given 3x+2 = 2(x+2), we get 3x+2 = 2x+4, so x = 2.

AI explanation

Let the present ages of Neena and Kiran be N and K. Given N = 3K, after 2 years Neena's age is 2 times Kiran's age, meaning N + 2 = 2(K + 2). Substituting the first equation into the second gives 3K + 2 = 2K + 4, so K = 2. Therefore, the present age of Kiran is 2 years.
