A. 15 years
B. 20 years
C. 40 years
D. 35 years
Answer: Option B
Solution(By Examveda Team)
According to the question,$$\frac{P + Q}{2}$$ = 25
P + Q = 50.....(i) (5 years ago)
$$\frac{P + Q + R}{3}$$ = 25
P + Q + R = 75.....(ii) (present age)
∴ Present age of P + Q = 50 + 10 = 60 years
Present age of R = 75 - 60 = 15 years
∴ Age of R after 5 years
= 15 + 5 = 20 years
