eight times as old as his youngest child
Suman. Can you help Mr Roy's guest
estimate Rahul and Suman's age?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Rahul's age = 24

Suman's age = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the age of youngest child(Suman) be x

Since, each child is born after a gap of one and a half years(1 + 1/2)

So, the age of Rahul will be x + 42/2 = x + 21

According To Question

x + 21 = 8x

21 = 8x - x

21 = 7x

x = 21/7

x = 3

Rahul's age = x + 21 = 3 +21 = 24

Suman's age = x = 3
