Answer:
Total age of p and q present age = 48 years
Step-by-step explanation:
The ratio between the present age of p and q is 5:7 respectively.
At present:
p age = 5x years
q age = 7x years
if the difference between q present age and p age after 6 years is 2
7x-(5x+6) = 2
=> 7x -5x-6 = 2
=> 2x = 2+6
=> 2x = 8
=> x = 8/2 = 4
Therefore,
At present:
p age = 5×4 = 20 years
q age = 7×4 = 28 years
Total age of p and q present age = 20 years + 28 years
= 48 years
