Question

Amit's brother is four years elder to him. If the sum of the present ages of Amit and his brother is 50, what is Amit's present age?​

Answer 1

Given,

• Age difference = 4 years

• Sum of ages = 50 years

Let,

• Present age of Amit = x

$\sf{\implies x+4+x=50}$

$\sf{\implies 2x+4=50}$

$\sf{\implies 2x=50-4}$

$\sf{\implies 2x=46}$

$\sf{\implies x=\dfrac{46}{2}}$

$\sf{\implies x=23 \ years}$

Therefore,

$\boxed{\sf{Age \ of \ Amit=23 \ years}}$
