Question

Linear equation which represents this statement
"Age of Mohit exceeds the age of Rahul by 2
years" is
(1) x-y=2
(3) Z-x=2
(2) y - x=2
(4) All of these
​

Answer 1

Answer: (1)

Let age of Mohit =X

And age of Rahul =y

So a/c to the question, X =y+2

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

The answer will depend on the variables you consider to do the sum.

Explanation:

Let's say,

The age of Mohit is considered as = X years.

And,

The age of Rahul is considered as = Y years

The difference between their age according to the question is = 2 years then,

The linear equation would form will be:

X - Y = 2

similarly, if the variables change like the age of Mohit to be taken as Z and age of Rahul is X thrn the equation would be:

Z - X = 2

Hence, the answer depends on the variables considered by the person who is working the sum.
