Question

Ajay is younger than vijay by 5 years, the sum of their ages is 25 years. What is ajay age?

Answer 1

Answer: 10 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Ajay = Vijay - 5 ...(i)

Aay + Vijay = 25 ...(ii)

(i) in (ii)

Vijay - 5 + Vijay = 25

2 Vijay = 25+5 = 30

Vijay = 30/2 = 15

Ajay's age = Vijay - 5 = 15-5 = 10 years

Answer 2

Step by step explanation:

Ajay is yonger than vijay by 5 yrs.

Let vijay be x and ajay be (x-5).

Sum of their ages is 25.

Therefore according to given condition

X+(x-5)=25

2x-5=25

2x=25+5

2x=30

x=15

Therefore vijay's age is x ie 15yrs and ajay's age is x-5 ie 15-5=10yrs
