Five years ago the average of the ages of P and Q was 40 years and now the average of the ages of Q and R is 48 years. Q1 : What is the present age of P if the sum of age of P and R is 70? Q2 : What is the present age of Q if the present age of P is 20% less than the present age of R? Q3 : What is the present age of R if the average age of P and R is 45 years? Which option represent correct relation among Q1, Q2, and Q3?
Five years ago the average of the ages of P and Q was 40 years and now the average of the ages of Q and R is 48 years. Q1 : What is the present age of P if the sum of age of P and R is 70? Q2 : What is the present age of Q if the present age of P is 20% less than the present age of R? Q3 : What is the present age of R if the average age of P and R is 45 years? Which option represent correct relation among Q1, Q2, and Q3? Correct Answer Q<sub>1</sub> < Q<sub>2</sub> > Q<sub>3</sub>
Calculation:
⇒ Sum of present age of P and Q = P + Q = 90 ----(1)
⇒ Sum of present age of Q and R = Q + R = 96 ----(2)
⇒ For Q1 Sum of P and R
⇒ P + R = 70 ----(3)
⇒ By solving Eq. (1), (2), and (3)
⇒ Q1 = Present age of P = 32 years
⇒ For Q2 present age P, 20% less than the present age of R.
⇒ P = 4R/5 ----(4)
⇒ By solving Eq. (1), (2), and (4)
⇒ Q2 = Present age of Q = 66 years.
⇒ For Q3, the average age of P and R is 45
⇒ P + R = 45 × 2,
⇒ P + R = 90 ----(5)
⇒ By solving Eq. (1), (2), and (5)
⇒ Q3 = present age of R = 48 years.
∴ The required result will be Q1 < Q2 > Q3.
