      E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ,

      Let present ages of P, Q, and R be ‘x’, ‘y’, and ‘z’ years respectively.

      So, x + 10 + y + 10 = 84

      => x + y = 64

      Sum of ages of P and Q 6 years ago = 64 – 6 × 2 = 52 years

      Age of R 6 years ago = 52 / 5 × 3 = 31.2 years

      Present age of R = 31.2 + 6 = 37.2 years
