45

Explanation: Let 'p' and 'q' be the ten's and unit's digits respectively of the number which denotes the age of Nikhil's age.

Then, Nikhil's age = (10p + q) years; Salil's age = (10q + p) years.

Therefore (10q + p)- (10p + q) = (1/11) (10q + p + 10p + q)

(9q-9p) = (1/11)(11q + 11p) = (p+ q)

10p = 8q

p = (4/5)q

So, q should be a multiple of 5 and also should be a single digit, which is 5.

So the values obtained will be, p = 4, q = 5.

Hence, Nikhil's age = 10p+ q = 45 years.
