The total of p and q presents ages is 48 years
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that The ratio between the ages of p and q is 5 : 7 respectively
Let the ratio be x
So, p's age = 5x
q's age = 7x
p's age after 6 years = 5x+6
We are given that the difference between present age of q and age of p after 6years is 2
7x-(5x+6)=2
2x-6=2
2x=8
x=4
p's present age = 5x=5(4)=20 years
q;s present age = 7(4)=28
Sum of present ages = 20+28 = 48 years
Hence the total of p and q presents ages is 48 years
