Answer 1

Let their ages be x(Rahim's) and y(Salim's) respectively.

A/q, x + y =29............1

before seven years, their ages will be-

(x-7) = (y-7)

2(x-7)=(y-7)

2x-14= y-7

2x-14+7=y

y = 2x - 7...................2

Now, Substituting the value of y from equation 2 to 1, we get--

x + y =29

--> x + 2x -7 =29

--> 3x = 29 +7

--> 3x =36

--> x = 36/3

--> x = 12

Now, putting the value of x in equation 1, we get--

x + y =29

12 + y =29

y =29 - 12

y = 17

Hence, present age of Rahim is 12 and of Salim is 17.......

hope it helps....
