1:11
​

Answer 1

GOOD MORNING

Let the present age of Manish be = x

And

Let the present age of Savita be = y

ACCORDING TO THE GIVEN QUESTION

x + y = 31 ... Equation i

( x - 3 ) = 4 ( y - 3 )

x - 4y + 8 = 0 ... Equation ii

SUBTRACT BOTH THE EQUATIONS WE HAVR

5y - 40 = 0

y = 8

And

x = 23

So, present age of Manish is 8years.

And

present age of Savita is 23years.
