Question

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

    respectively. If the age of P 10 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.
    A 70 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 64 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 72 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 55 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 + 10 = 2(5x – 4) => 8x + 10 = 10x - 8 => 2x = 18 => x = 9 Required age = 8x – 2 = 70 years
