Question

Present age of Anurag is 10
years more than Shalu. If sum of
their ages is 42 years, the present
age of Shalu is​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation : -

Let the age of Shalu be = x

Therefore,

x + 10 = Present Age of Anurag

According to Question,

Sum of their ages = 42 yrs

Now,

Present Age of Anurag + Age of Shalu = Sum of their ages

⇒ (x + 10) + x = 42

⇒ x + x + 10 = 42

⇒ 2x + 10 = 42

⇒ 2x = 42 – 10

⇒ 2x = 32

⇒ x = 32 ÷ 2

⇒ x = 16

∴ Present Age of Shalu = 16

and, Present Age of Anurag = 16 + 10

= 26
