qt broken link and environment variable

I've installed qt5.5 from PPA. But I'm getting following output.

ansh@ansh-HP:~$ qmake -query
qmake: could not exec '/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt4/bin/qmake': No such file or directory
ansh@ansh-HP:~$ ls /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt4/bin/
qdbus
ansh@ansh-HP:~$ qml
qml: could not exec '/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt4/bin/qml': No such file or directory
ansh@ansh-HP:~$ which qmake
/usr/bin/qmake
ansh@ansh-HP:~$ ll /usr/bin/qmake
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Mar 9 2015 /usr/bin/qmake -> qtchooser*

Executing /opt/qt55/bin/qt55-env.sh is not setting the environment variables for me.

ansh@ansh-HP:~$ /opt/qt55/bin/qt55-env.sh
ansh@ansh-HP:~$ cat /opt/qt55/bin/qt55-env.sh
#!/bin/bash
QT_BASE_DIR=/opt/qt55
export QTDIR=$QT_BASE_DIR
export PATH=$QT_BASE_DIR/bin:$PATH
if [[ $(uname -m) == "x86_64" ]]; then export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$QT_BASE_DIR/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu:$QT_BASE_DIR/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
else export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$QT_BASE_DIR/lib/i386-linux-gnu:$QT_BASE_DIR/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
fi
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$QT_BASE_DIR/lib/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH
TEST=`echo $0 | grep wrapper`
if [ "$TEST" != "" ]; then exec `echo $0 | sed s/-wrapper//` $*
fi
ansh@ansh-HP:~$ echo $PATH
/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games

As described in the PPA description:

i386 and amd64 packages for Trusty Ubuntu release.

Each package contains one Qt module and installs under the /opt/qt55 prefix.

Source /opt/qt55/bin/qt55-env.sh to set the correct environment.

therefore

source /opt/qt55/bin/qt55-env.sh
