​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the age of Vijay be x.

Then the age of Ajay will be 5x.

So,

x+5x=25

or,6x=25

or,x=25/6

So, Ajay's age=25/6×5

=126/6

=21 years

So, the age of Ajay is 21 years.

Answer 2

Answer

Ajay's age is 10 years

Step by Step Explanation :

Let Ajay's age be x years

and Vijay's age be y years

According to first condition,

x=y-5

therefore, x-y=-5------(i)

According to second condition,

x+y=25------(ii)

Adding (i) and (ii)

x-y=-5

x+y=25

------------

2x =20

x =20/2

x=10

Therefore, Ajay's age us 10 years
