Question

five years ago Sarita was 5 years younger than Babita. The sum of their present ages is 37. What is the present age of babita​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the it present ages be X [ sarita] & Y[ babita]

x-5 - y + 5 = 5

x -y = 5.... 1.

Also x + y = 37....2.

Adding 1 & 2,we get

x + y = 37

x - y = 5

2x = 42

X = 21 yrs = age of sarita

So age of babita is 21 - y = 5

Age of babita is 16 yrs
