Let the present ages of x and y be $$3x$$ and $$x$$ The ratio between the ages of x and y after 15 years will be 2:1 $$Rightarrow frac{3x + 15}{x + 15} = frac{2}{1}$$ $$Rightarrow 3x + 15 = 2x + 30$$ $$Rightarrow x = 15$$ $$ herefore$$ Present ages of x and y are 45 and 15 respectively. Hence, option B is the correct answer.
