C Correct answer
Explanation

Let daughter's current age = d. Ramesh is 4 times older, so his age = 4d. After 10 years: daughter = d+10, Ramesh = 4d+10. Their sum = 60: (d+10) + (4d+10) = 60, giving 5d + 20 = 60, so 5d = 40 and d = 8. Daughter's age after 10 years = 8 + 10 = 18. Option C is correct.
