Given:

Shalu is younger than Ankur by 14 years.

Ratio of their ages is 3 : 5.

Formula used:

Let Shalu's age be 3x and Ankur's age be 5x.

Ankur's age - Shalu's age = 14 years

Calculations:

5x - 3x = 14

⇒ 2x = 14

⇒ x = 7

Shalu's age = 3x

⇒ Shalu's age = 3 × 7 = 21 years

∴ The correct answer is option 2.
