Answer: C


Let the ages of Ashok, Anil, and Ajay 5 years ago be 3x, 4x, and 5x years, respectively. 
Then, their present ages are (3x + 5), (4x + 5), and (5x + 5) years.

The sum of their present ages is 75 years, so we can write this as:

(3x + 5) + (4x + 5) + (5x + 5) = 75

Solving for x, we get:

12x + 15 = 75
12x = 60
x = 5

Thus, Anil's present age is (4x + 5) = (4 * 5 + 5) = 25 years.
