Answer: C

 Let G be Gaurav's age one year ago and S be Sachin's age one year ago.

Then, Gaurav's age 4 years hence = G + 4 = 6x + 5

Sachin's age 4 years hence = S + 4 = 7x + 5

We can set up the following equation:

6x + 5 = 7x + 5

Solving this equation gives us:

x = 5

Therefore, Sachin's present age = S + 1 = 7x + 1 = 7 * 5 + 1 = 36 years
