C Correct answer
Explanation

Let uncle's present age = U. Ram is 30 years younger, so Ram's age = U - 30. Five years ago: (U - 30 - 5) = (1/4)(U - 5). Solving: U - 35 = (U - 5)/4, giving 4U - 140 = U - 5, so 3U = 135 and U = 45. Uncle's present age is 45, so after 5 years it will be 50. Option C is correct.
