C Correct answer
Explanation

Let Aish's present age = A, Abhishek's present age = B. Given B = A+4. 30 years ago: Aish's age = A-30, Abhishek's age = B-30 = A+4-30 = A-26. Condition: 2(A-30) - 1.5(A-26) = 5. Solving: 2A-60-1.5A+39 = 5, 0.5A-21 = 5, 0.5A = 26, A = 52. Therefore B = 52+4 = 56. Present ages are Aish = 52, Abhishek = 56. Option C is correct.
