Aarati's age ?
(1) 13 years (2) 18 years (3) 20 years (4) 25 years
​

Answer 1

Answer:

(4) 25 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume that the age of Mahesh is x years and Deepak is y years.

As per given condition,

→ x + y/2 = 13

→ x + y = 26

→ y = 26 - x .................(1)

Assume that the age of Aarati is z years. So,

→ (y+ 2)/2 = 20

→ y + z = 40

→ 26 -x + z = 40 [From (1)]

→ z - x = 14

→ z = 14 + x ...............(2)

Similarly,

→ z + x = 36

→ 14 + x + x = 36 [From (2)]

→ 2x =22

→ x = 11

Hence, the age of Mahesh is 11 years.

Substitute value of x in (2)

→ z = 14 + 11

→ z = 25

Hence, the age of Aarati is 25 years.
