Question

Ajay is younger that Vijay by 5 years. Sum of their ages is 25 years. What is Ajay's age?

Answer 1

let the age of vijay =x

age of ajay=x-5

a.c.q.

x+(x-5)=25

2x-5=25

2x=25+5

x=30\2

x=15

So

age of vijay =15 years

age of ajay=15-5=10

Answer 2

Let the age of Vijay be X years

therefore, Ajay's age =X-5 years

Now, According to question

X+X-5=25

2X= 25+5

2X=30

X = 30/2

X=15

Hence, Ajay's age=15-5

= 10 years
