Question

1) Shreyansh's age is 2 times of his brother Kamal's. Sum of their ages is 56.
Find the ages of Shreyansh's and Kamal.​

Answer 1

ANSWER

߷ The age of Kamal = 19 years (Approximately)

߷ The age of Shreyansh = 38 years (Approximately)

SOLUTION

Let us assume that the present age of Kamal is 'x' years.

∵ It is said that Shreyansh  is 2 times the age of his brother Kamal.

Present age of Shreyansh  = 2x  $\longrightarrow$ (1)

Also , it is said that the sum of their ages is 56.

$\implies$  x + 2x = 56

$\implies$  3x = 56

$\implies \sf x = \dfrac{56}{3}$

$\implies$ x = 18.66 ≈ 19

∴ The age of Kamal = 19 years.

From (1) , age of Shreyansh = 2x = 2 × 19

∴ The age of Shreyansh = 38 years.

Answer 2

Correct Question :

• Shreyansh's age is 2 times of his brother Kamal's age . Sum of their ages is 57. Find the ages of Shreyansh's and Kamal.

Given :

• Shreyansh's age is 2 times of his brother Kamal's age.
• Sum of their ages is 57

To Find :

• Their Present Ages

Solution :

⇒ Let the age of Kamal be x years

⇒ Then age of Shreyansh will be 2x years

According to the Question :

⟹ Sum of their ages = 57

⟹ x + 2x = 57

⟹ 3x = 57

⟹ x = 57 / 3

⟹ x = 19

Therefore :

• Age of Kamal = x = 19years
• Age of Shreyansh = 2x = 2(19) = 38years
