Question

Ali is 3 years older than Umer and Ahmed is 2 years younger than Umer. Find age of all of them if sum of ages is 61.


PLS give the solution as well

Answer 1

Answer:

The present age of Umer = 20 years

The present age of Ali = 23 years

The present age of Ahmed = 18 years

Explanation:

Let,

• The present age of Umer = x years

• The present age of Ali = x + 3 years

• The present age of Ahmed = x - 2 years

★ According to the question,

⇒ Present age of Umer + Present age of Ali + Present age of Ahmed = 61

⇒ x + x + 3 + x - 2 = 61

⇒ 3x + 1 = 61

⇒ 3x = 61 - 1

⇒ 3x = 60

⇒ x = 60/3

⇒ x = 20

⇒ The value of x = 20

Substituting the value of x in the present ages of Umer, Ali and Ahmed :

⇒ The present age of Umer = x years

⇒ The present age of Umer = 20 years

⇒ The present age of Ali = x + 3 years

⇒ The present age of Ali = 20 + 3

⇒ The present age of Ali = 23 years

⇒ The present age of Ahmed = x - 2 years

⇒ The present age of Ahmed = 20 - 2

⇒ The present age of Ahmed = 18 years
