Question

    The ratio of the present ages of P and Q is 8:5

    respectively. If the age of P 14 years hence from now will be 100% more than the age of Q 4 years ago from now, then find the age of P 2 years ago from now.

    B 86 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 72 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 69 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E 88 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the present ages of P and Q be 8x and 5x years respectively. According to the question, => 8x + 14 = 2.00(5x – 4) => 8x + 14 = 10x - 8 => 2x = 22 => x = 11 Required age = 8x – 2 = 86 years
