Answer:
27
Step-by-step explanation:
if the ratio of their ages is 2:3
Let their ages be 2x and 3x
p = 2x
Q = 3x
after 18 years their ages would be
P = 2x + 18
Q = 3x + 18
it is given that the ratio of their ages after 18 years is 4:5
Hence
2x + 18/ 3x + 18 = 4/5
5(2x + 18) = 4(3x + 18)
10x + 90 = 12x + 72
2x = 18
x = 9
Present age of Q is
3x = 3(9) = 27
