      E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ,


      Let the present age of A and B be 4x and 5x respectively.
      And the present age of P = (4x + 8) * 13/8 – 8 = (52x + 104)/8 – 8 = (52x + 40)/8
      4x + 5x + (52x + 40)/8 = 110 – 4 * 3
      32x + 40x + 52x = 98 * 8 – 40
      124x = 744
      x = 6
      The present age of P = (52 * 6 + 40)/8 = 352/8 = 44 years
