    A 3 yrs Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 7 yrs Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 9 yrs Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 8 yrs Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the present ages of P and Q be 2x and 3x years.
    Sum of their present ages = 55 - 10 = 45 years
    ATQ,
    (2x + 3x) = 45
    5x = 45
    So, x = 9
    Difference between their present ages = (3x - 2x) = x = 9 years
