Solution

The ratio of the present ages of Asha and Lata is 5 : 6.

Let the age of Asha and Lata be 5x and 6x respectively.
The difference between their ages = 6 years

6x - 5x = 6

x = 6

Age of Lata after 5 years = 6x + 5 = 6 $$\times$$ 6 + 5 = 41 years
$$\therefore$$ The correct answer is option B.
