The ratio between the present ages of P and Q is 5 : 7 respectively. If the difference between Q's present age and P's age after 6 years is 2, what is the total of P's and Q's present ages?

A. 46 years

B. 48 years

C. 52 years

D. 56 years

Answer: Option B

Solution(By Examveda Team)

Let the present ages of P and Q be 5x years and 7x years respectively.
Then 7x-(5x+6) = 2
2x = 8
x = 4.
Present age = 5x+7x
=12x
=12×4
=48 years.
