The correct option is D 5 years
Let x be the age of brother Joseph.
x+3= age of Elisa---(1)
So, product of their age =x(x+3)=10
x2+3x−10=0
On factoring, we get,
(x−2)(x+5)=0
x−2=0,x+5=0
x=2 or x=−5
Substitute the value of x=2 in equation (1), we get
x+3= age of Elisa
2+3=5
So, the age of Elisa is 5 years
