Question

Navin is two years younger than Sita. If Sita is $p$ years old, then how old was Navin $5$ years ago?

• A. $p-7$
• B. $p+7$
• C. $7p$
• D. $p+q$

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

$p-7$

Given, Sita's present age $=p$ years

Given that Navin is $2$ years younger than Sita.
Therefore, Navin's present age $=(p-2)$ years.
Navin's age $5$ years ago is $=\left(\right(p-2)-5)$ $=(p-7)$ years..
