    Solution

    ATQ,

    4 years ago, let the age of 'P' and 'Q' be 7x years and 6x years respectively12 years hence,

    Age of 'P' = 7x + 4 + 12 = (7x + 16) years

    Age of 'Q' = 6x + 4 + 12 = (6x + 16) years

    ATQ,

    (7x + 16) / (6x + 16) = 11 / 10

    тЗТ 70x + 160 = 66x + 176

    тЗТ 4x = 16

    тЗТ x = 4

    So, required age = 6 ├Ч 4 + 4 = 28 years
