Question

The ratio between the present ages of P and Q is 3 is to 4 respectively if Q present age is 20 years what will be the ratio of the ages after 5 years

Answer 1

Ratio = 3:4

Let age of P to be 3x and Q to be 4x

According to question

4x = 20

x = 20/4

x =5 yrs.

3x = 3*5 = 15 yrs.

After 5 years

Age of P = 15+5=20

Age of Q = 20+5 = 25

Ratio of their ages after 5 years = P/Q  = 20/25

                                               = 4:5
