      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 ⇒ -x = -6 ⇒ x = 6 Now, P = 5x - 4 = 5(6) - 4 = 30 - 4 = 26
