      Question

      Present ages of P and Q are in the ratio 7:8

      respectively. If Qโ€™s age, 8 years hence from now will be 2 times of Pโ€™s age, 5 years ago from now, then find the present age of Q.
      A 21 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 24 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 35 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 36 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let the present ages of P and Q be 7x and 8x years respectively. According to the question, => (8x + 8) = 2ย ร— (7x โ€“ 5) => 8x + 8 = 14x โ€“ 10 => 6x = 18 => x = 3 Therefore, the present age of Q = 8x = 24 years
