    Question

    After 4 years, the combined age of P and R will be 80

    years. If their current age ratio is 7:5, find the age difference.
    A 23 yrs Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 12 yrs Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 16 yrs Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 18 yrs Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the present ages of P and R be 7x and 5x years.
    Sum of the present ages = 80 − 8 = 72 years
    ATQ,
    (7x + 5x) = 72
    12x = 72
    So, x = 6
    So, difference between their present ages = (7x − 5x) = 2x = 12 years
