Answer 2

Hello friends..


___________________________


Let's Salil's present age be x and Sangram's present age be y.


Salil's age is 23 years more than half of the Sangram's age.

: x = y/2 +23


Five years ago Salil's age = x - 5.

Five years ago Sangram's age = y - 5

The sum of their ages five years ago= 55

(x - 5) + (y -5) = 55


Finding the solution by solving equation,

2x = y + 46

2x - y = 46 ................( i )

(x -5) + (y -5) = 55

x + y = 65 .......................( ii )


Adding equation (i ) and (ii) we get,

2x - y = 46
x + y = 65
----------------

3x = 111

x = 37


x = 37 taking equation (ii) we get,

x + y = 65

37 + y = 65

y = 65 - 37

y = 28.


Hence, the Salil's age is 37 years and Sangram's age is 28 years.


Thanks...
