Let Vijay's age = 6x and Sanjay's age = 7x. After 3 years: (6x + 3)/(7x + 3) = 7/8. Cross-multiplying: 48x + 24 = 49x + 21, giving x = 3. Vijay's present age = 6x = 6 × 3 = 18 years, so option B is correct.

Current ages: Mohan = 35, Sohan = 40. Ratio 35:40 = 7:8 already. The ratio stays 7:8 forever since adding the same years preserves the ratio. Therefore, ratio is 9:10 NOW, not in the future. However, let's solve: (35 + x)/(40 + x) = 9/10. Cross-multiply: 350 + 10x = 360 + 9x, giving x = 10. Option B is correct.
