B Correct answer
Explanation

Let Sakshi's marriage age = M. Current age = 7M/5. She married 8 years ago, so 7M/5 - M = 8, giving 2M/5 = 8, M = 20. Current age = 7 × 20/5 = 28. Son is 1/7 of her age = 28/7 = 4 years. After 12 years: Sakshi = 28 + 12 = 40, Son = 4 + 12 = 16. Ratio = 40:16 = 5:2. The ratio is 5:2.
