Question

anil is older than his friend baiju by 3 yrs. anils father is thrice as old as his sister chaitra. the ages of chaitra and anils father differ by 49 yrs. find the ages of anil and baiju​

Answer 1

19 years

16 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi,

Let the age of Anil be 'x'

Let the age of Baiju be 'y'

Given that Anil is older than Baiju by 3 years

x - y = 3------(1)

Given that Anil's father is thrice as old as Anil,

so Anil's fathers age = 3*x = 3x

Given that Baiju is twice as old as his sister Chitra

so Chitra's age = y/2

Given that ages of Chitra and Anil father differ by 49

3x - y/2 = 49 or

6x - y = 98------(2)

Solving equations (1) and (2), we get x = 19 and y = 16

Hope, it helps !
