Question

Nihopal is 2 years older than Devjan who is 7 years older than Sucha.
If their combined age is 61 years, find the age of each person.

Answer 1

Answer:

Nihopal = 24 years

Devjan = 22 years

Sucha = 61 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, Nihopal is 2 years older than Devjan

Nihopal = 2 + Devjan..........(1)

Since, Devjan is 7 years older than Sucha

Devjan = 7 + Sucha............(2)

Since, their combined age is 61 years

Nihopal+Devjan+Sucha=61........(3)

Now, putting Nihopal and Sucha age to get Devjan age

$3 \times  Devjan  = 66$

∴ Devjan age = 22 years

Put Devjan age in (1) , we gat;

Nihopal age = 24 years

Put Nihopal age in (2) , we get

Sucha age = 15 years.
