There is a correction is question,
Correction : find the age of P, And 5 years ago the age of P,
.
Let the age of P after 3 years will be ( x + 3 )
Age of P before 5 years was ( x - 5 )
According to the question,
( x + 3 ) : ( x - 5 ) = 6 : 5
=> 5( x + 3 ) = 6( x - 5 )
=> 5x + 15 = 6x - 30
=> 15 + 30 = 6x - 5x
=> 45 = x
Hence, present age of P is 45 years
