    Question

    The ratio of two numbers β€˜P’ and β€˜Q’ is 5:4,

    respectively. If 10 is subtracted from each of β€˜P’ and β€˜Q’, then the ratio of β€˜P’ and β€˜Q’ becomes 4:3. The sum of β€˜P’ and β€˜Q’ is:
    A 80 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 90 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 100 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 70 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the two numbers β€˜P’ and β€˜Q’ be β€˜5x’ and β€˜4x’, respectively ATQ; (5x - 10)/(4x - 10) = 4/3 Or, 15x - 30 = 16x - 40 Or, x = 10 Now, sum of β€˜P’ and β€˜Q’ = 5 Γ— 10 + 4 Γ— 10 = 90
