Itssssssss uuuuurrrrrrggggggeeeeeennnnnnntttttttt

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's the age of Prashant be x years.

Nishant age= 3x

Hemant age= x+2

ATQ,

3x+x+2= 62

4x= 60

x= 15 years.

Prashant age= 15 years.

Answer 2

Answer:

Prashant age = x

Nishant age = 3x

Hemant age = 2+x

ATQ

3x+x+2 = 62

3x+x = 62-2

3x+x = 60

4x = 60

x = 60/4

x = 15

So, Hemant age is 15 years.
