Let the present age of R = x
Therefore the sum of present ages of P and Q = x + 25 -- (1)
Given that Q is 5 years older than R = x + 5
Putting in (1), we get P's present age. P + (x + 5) = x + 25
Therefore P = 20

The total present age of P and Q is 25 years more than the present age of R:P + Q = R + 25
At present Q is 5 years older than R: Q = R + 5
=> P + R + 5 = Q + 25
=> P = 20
Answer C
At present Q is 5 years older than R: Q = R + 5
=> P + R + 5 = Q + 25
=> P = 20
Answer C
