Question
Present ages of P and Q are in the ratio 2:5
respectively. If Q’s age, 15 years hence from now will be 5 times of P’s age, 5 years ago from now, then find the present age of Q.Solution
Let the present ages of P and Q be 2x and 5x years respectively. According to the question, => (5x + 15) = 5 × (2x – 5) => 5x + 15 = 10x – 25 => 5x = 40 => x = 8 Therefore, the present age of Q = 5x = 40 years
