Question

2. The ratio between the present ages of P and Q is 3 : 4 respectively. If Q's present age is 20 years, what

will be the ratio of the ages after 5 years?
​

Answer 1

Answer:

4:5

Step-by-step explanation:

assume p age to be 3x and q age to be 4x

given

q's present age = 20 yrs

thus 4x=20

x=5

thus y age = 3x = 3* 5=15yrs

thus 5 yrs later

p age = 15+5=20

q age = 20+5 =25

thus ratio = p:q =20:25 = 4:5
