Answer 1

Answer: (B)

My age lies between $20$ and $50$.
Therefore, it should be among the list of multiple of $7$ are $21,28,35,42,49,56,63,70,77.$
Given,
Next year, it will be a multiple of $5$.
Among the numbers in the list, the only number when increased by $1$ (to get next year's age) which becomes a multiple of $5$ ($5\times 10=50$) is $49$.
Therefore, the required age is $49$.
