      Question

      Present age of β€˜P’ is 50% more than that of β€˜Q’.

      6 years ago, β€˜P’ was twice as old as β€˜Q’. What is the present age of β€˜Q’?
      A 6 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 10 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 12 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 14 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E 16 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let the present age of β€˜Q’ be β€˜x’ years
      Therefore, present age of β€˜P’ = 1.5x years
      ATQ;
      (1.5x – 6) = 2 Γ— (x – 6)
      Or, 1.5x – 6 = 2x – 12
      Or, 6 = 0.5x
      Or, x = 12
      Therefore, present age of β€˜Q’ = 12 years
