Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

$\bf{\underline{\underline\red{Given:-}}}$

• Difference between the ages of Amaan and Devang is 8.

• Amaan is elder than Devang.

• 10 years from now Amaan's age will be 26 years.

$\bf{\underline{\underline\blue{To\:Find:-}}}$

• The present age of Devang.

$\bf{\underline{\underline\green{Solution:-}}}$

Let the age of Amaan be x

And age of Devang be y

According to the 1st condition:-

Difference between the ages of Amaan and Devang is 8

So:-

$\rm\pink{ \implies x - y = 8.......(i)}$

According to the 2nd condition:-

10 years from now Amaan's age will be 26 years

10 years later:-

Age of Amaan = x + 10

$\rm{ \implies x + 10 = 26}$

$\rm{ \implies x = 26 - 10}$

$\rm \implies x = 16$

Present age of Amaan = x = 16

Substituting x = 16 in equation (i)

$\rm \implies x - y = 8$

$\rm \implies 16 - y = 8$

$\rm \implies - y = 8 - 16$

$\rm \implies - y = - 8$

$\rm \implies y = 8$

Therefore:-

$\boxed {\orange{ \rm Present \: age \: of \: amaan = 16\: years}}$

$\boxed {\purple{ \rm Present \: age \: of \: Devang = 8 \: years}}$
