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
