Question

Lekha Raj is 11 times as old as his son Prajjwal. If the sum of their ages is 55 years, find their ages. ​

Answer 1

Answer:

The age of Prajwal is 4 years 7 months and the age of Lekha Raj is 50 years 5 months

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Prajwal's age be x years and Lekha Raj's age 11x years.

∴ x + 11x=55 years

⇒ 12x=55x12 months

⇒ x=55 months

⇒ 55÷12 months=4 years 7 months

⇒ 11x=55 months x 11 years

⇒ 605÷12=50 years 5 months

So, The age of Prajwal is 4 years 7 months and the age of Lekha Raj is 50 years 5 months
