    Question

    A person 'P' is 4 years younger than 'Q' and also 10

    years less than twice the age of 'R'. Given that the ages of 'Q' and 'R' are in the ratio 5:3, determine the current age of 'P'.
    A 17 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 15 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 14 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 26 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Let R = 3x Then Q = 5x (since Q:R = 5:3) P = Q - 4 = 5x - 4 P = 2R - 10 = 2(3x) - 10 = 6x - 10 Equating both: 5x - 4 = 6x - 10 тЗТ -x = -6 тЗТ x = 6 Now, P = 5x - 4 = 5(6) - 4 = 30 - 4 = 26
