Answer 2

$\sf{\huge{\underline{\orange{Given :-}}}}$

The ratio between the present ages of P and Q is 5:6.

The sum of their present ages is 55 years.

$\sf{\huge{\underline{To\:Find :-}}}$

The Q's present age.

$\sf{\huge{\underline{\green{Answer :-}}}}$

We have,

The ratio between the present ages of P and Q is 5:6

Let us suppose ,

• The present ages of P = 5x

• The present ages of Q = 6x

The sum of their present ages is 55 years.

5x + 6x = 55

➝ 11x = 55

➝ x = 55/11

➝ x = 5

• The present ages of P = 5x = 5 × 5 = 25

• The present ages of Q = 6x = 6 × 5 = 30
