Answered by anvi555

let mohan age be 2x and sohan age be 3x
according to the question,
mohan age= sohan age - 24
2x= 3x -24
24=3x-2x
24=x
mohan age= 2*24
=48
Sohan age=3*24
=72

kaifarshad: why mohan age 2x

anvi555: due to the ratio given 2:3

anvi555: my answer is right?

kaifarshad: why write _24

kaifarshad: 3x_2x= 1x

anvi555: x=24 as u have given age gap between the two brothers is 24 in the question

Answer:

Mohan age = 48 years

Sohan age = 72 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let mohan age be 2x

And sohan age be 3x

According to the question,

=) 2x = 3x - 24

=) 24 = 2x - 3x

=) 24 = x

Mohan age = 2x

= 2×(24)

= 48

Sohan age = 3x

= 3×(24)

= 72
