D Correct answer
Explanation

V = 3S. V+8 = 2(S+8) => 3S+8 = 2S+16 => S = 8. V = 24. Age after 16 years = 24 + 16 = 40.

AI explanation

Let Saksham's present age be x, making Vishal's present age 3x. The problem states 3x + 8 = 2(x + 8), so 3x + 8 = 2x + 16 and x = 8. Saksham is currently 8 years old, and Vishal is 3x, which equals 24 years. After 16 years, Vishal's age will be 24 + 16 = 40 years.
