B Correct answer
Explanation

Mayank's present age is 10. In 6 years, Mayank will be 16. At that time, Ramesh's age will be 3 × 16 = 48. So Ramesh's present age is 48 − 6 = 42. Ramesh is 7 years older than Sangeeta, so Sangeeta's present age is 42 − 7 = 35. Option A (48) is Ramesh's future age, not Sangeeta's present age. Option C (42) is Ramesh's present age, not Sangeeta's.
