Question

3. Ajay Vijay and Suresh went
fishing. Between them they caught
21 fish. If Ajay caught two more
fish than Suresh and Vijay caught
two more fishes than Ajay, how
many fish did each catch?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Hey mate here is your answer.....

Ajay+Vijay+Suresh = 21

Let Suresh caught x fish

Then Ajay caught (x+2) fishes

Then Vijay caught (x+2+2) fishes

We know,

Ajay + Vijay + Suresh = 21

x + x + 2 + x + 2 + 2 = 21

3x + 6 = 21

3x = 21 - 6

3x = 15

x = 15/3 = 5

Suresh caught = x = 5 fishes

Ajay caught = (x+2) = 5+2 = 7 fishes

Vijay caught = (x+2+2) = 5+4 = 9 fishes

Hope it helps you....
