Question

Ajay is twice as old as his brother brother Vijay. If the difference
between their ages is 11 years, find their current ages.

Answer 1

Vijay current age is 11 years and Ajay current age is 22 years

Explanation:

Given:

1. Ajay is twice as old as his brother Vijay

2. If the difference  between their ages is 11 years, find their current ages.

To find:

Their current ages.

Solution:

==> Let, Ajay age be x

==> Let, Vijay age be y

==> Ajay = twice as old as his brother Vijay

==> x = 2(y) ==>1

==> According to the condition,

==> Ajay is older than Vijay

==> Their difference is 11

==> x-y = 11 ==>2

==> Substitute equation 1 in equation 2

==> 2y-y=11

==> y=11 years

Vijay is 11 years old

==> Substitute y value in equation 1

==> x = 2y

==> x = 2(11)

==> x= 22 years

Ajay is 22 years old.

Vijay current age is 11 years and Ajay current age is 22 years
