Present ages of 'P' and 'Q' are in ratio 5:6,

Q: Answer-Present ages of 'P' and 'Q' are in ratio 5:6, respectively. If ten years hence from now, age of 'P'...

ATQ, Let the present ages of P and Q be 5x years and 6x years, respectively. So, 5x 10 6x 10 X 0.75 Or, 5x 10 4.5x 7.5 Or, 0.5x 2.5 So, x 5 So, present age of P 5x 5 X 5 25 years And present age of R 25 7 32 years So, required ratio 2532 2532

respectively. If ten years hence from now, age of 'P' will be 25% less than that of 'Q', then find the ratio of present ages of 'P' and 'R' given that 'R' is 7 years older than 'P'.

A 25:32

B 24:27
