Question

Jayaprabha's mother is 5year younger than her father. her father is 22 years elder than Jayaprabha.the sum of the ages are 72.find the ages of each of them​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let,

Age of jayaprabha's father = x yrs

Age of jayaprabha's mother= (x-5) yrs

Age of jayaprabha = (x-22) yrs

According to question,

x+(x-5)+(x-22)=72

x+x-5+x-22=72

3x-27=72

3x=99

x=33

Therefore,

Age of jayaprabha=(33-22)= 11 yrs

Age of jayaprabha's mother=(33-5)= 28 yrs

Age of jayaprabha's father= 33 yrs

Hope this answer helps you:)
