c.35years

Let x be the Tim's age.
And y be the Lee's age.
Then, x/y = 5/6 ===> y = 6x/5
And, x+7/y+7 = 6/7
==> 7x+49 = 6y+42
==> 7x = 67-7
By substituting 7x=(36x/5)-7
==>35x-36x=-35
Therefore, x=35(Tim's age)

present age of tim is 5x
present age of lee is 6x
7 yrs hence
tim age is 5x+7
lee age is 6x+7

7 yrs hence the raio of ther ages is
(5x+7)/(6x+7) = 6/7
x=7
so tims present age is 5*7=35

present age of tim is 5x
present age of leee is 6x
7 yrs hence there ages are 5x-7/6x-7------ 1
but its is given that
7 yrs hence there ages are 6/7------------ 2
from eq 1 and eq 2
(5x-7)/(6x-7) = 6/7
x=7 , tim presentt age=5*7=35
