C Correct answer
Explanation

Saloni is 14, Sachin is 9 years younger, so Sachin is 5. Let Roy's age be R. (R-10)/14 = 5. R-10 = 70, R = 80.

AI explanation

Sachin's present age is 14 minus 9, which is 5 years. Let Mr. Roy's present age be x, so the equation is (x minus 10) divided by 14 equals 5. Solving for x gives x minus 10 equals 70, making Mr. Roy's present age 80 years.
