Correct Answer: 54
Solution : Given: The present age of P is 45 years. 9 years later, the ratio of the ages of P and Q will be 6 : 7
After 9 years, P's age will be 45 + 9 = 54 years Let, P and Q's ages after 9 years be 6Y and 7Y. According to the question – ⇒ 6Y = 54 ⇒ Y = 54 ÷ 6 ⇒ Y = 9 Therefore, the present age of Q→7Y – 9 = (7 × 9) – 9 = 63 – 9 = 54
So, Q's present age is 54 years. Hence, the second option is correct.
