Question

. Niraj is 24 years younger than his father. The sum of their ages is 60 years. Find their ages.

Answer 1

Answer:

Let his age= x

let his father's age= x+24

x+x+24=60

2x+24=60

2x=60-24=36

x=36/2=18

His age= x= 18

His father's age=x+24=18+24=42

sum of their ages makes up 60

hope it helps

Answer 2

Let the father’s age be x.
Niraj is 24 years younger than his father, and the sum of their ages is 60.
Therefore, equation formed :
x + 24 = 60
So, x = 60 - 24
x = 36
Therefore fathers age is 36.
Since Niraj is 24 years younger than his father, the equation formed :
x - 24
Substitute the value of x = 36
So, 36 - 24 = 12
Niraj’s age is 12 years

Final Answer : Father’s age is 36
Niraj’s age is 12.
