Detailed Solution

Concept-
Let Viru be

x

years old.
So, in response to the query, Sudhir's age is

5 + 3

years.
Similar to this, Anil will be

\frac{5 + 3 x}{2}

years old.
The ratio of the combined ages of Sudhir and Viru to three times Anil's age is stated in this issue as being 5:6.
Therefore, we can write

\frac{\frac{x + 5 + 3 x}{3 (5 + 3 x)}}{2}

\frac{5}{6}

in mathematics.
Simplifying, we obtain x = 5 years,

\frac{2 (4 x + 5)}{5 + 3 x}

\frac{5}{2}

(8 x + 10) 2 = 25 + 15 x, and 16 x + 20 = 15 x + 25

.
As a result, Viru is currently 5 years old.
Therefore, "5 years" is the right response.
