    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ, Present age of Q = 28 - 8 = 20 years
    Present age of P = 1.25 × 20 = 25 years
    Let the required time be T years.
    So, (25 + T) : (20 + T) = 7 : 6
    Or, 6 × (25 + T) = 7 × (20 + T)
    Or, 150 + 6T = 140 + 7T
    Or, T = 10
