D Correct answer
Explanation

Let Mukesh's age be 4k and Manu's age be 3k. After 6 years, Mukesh will be 4k + 6 = 26, so 4k = 20 and k = 5. Manu's current age is 3k = 3(5) = 15.

AI explanation

Let the ages of Mukesh and Manu be 4x and 3x. Since Mukesh will be 26 after 6 years, 4x + 6 = 26, so x = 5. Manu's present age is 3x, which equals 15.
