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?  Choose the correct choice from the following options:  A) 48 years  B) 65 years  C) 87 years  D) 20 years  E) 26 years
Let the present ages of P and Q be 5x and 7x years respectively.   Then, 7x - (5x + 6) = 2   2x = 8 =&gt; x = 4   Required sum = 5x + 7x = 12x 5  + 7=
