Read Solution (Total 3)
-
- Present age of P,QandR =3*25=75
five years ago,total age of P and Q=2*25=50
Present age of P and Q=50+10=60
R's present age=75-60=15
age of R after 5 year will be 20 years - 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(3) No(0)
- Let present ages be P, Q, R resp.
5 years ago
(P-5+Q-5)/2=25
so P+Q=40
Now (P+Q+R)/3=25
P+Q+R=75
or 40+R=75
R=35
After 5 years R's age will be 40 years. - 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(6)
- the average of p+q is 25 so p+q becomes 50 and five years ago so present p+q is 60
p+q+r is 75 by solving r is 15 now age of R after 5 years will be 20 - 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
