Question 36

Ratio of present ages of P and Q is 9 : 4. The difference between their ages is 20 years. What will be the sum (in years) of their ages after 10 years?

Solution

Let present ages of P and Q be $$9x$$ and $$4x$$ years respectively.

According to ques, => $$9x-4x=5x=20$$

=> $$x=\frac{20}{5}=4$$

$$\therefore$$ Sum (in years) of their ages after 10 years = $$(9x+10)+(4x+10)$$

= $$13(4)+20=52+20=72$$

=> Ans - (C)
