Question

Rajesh is 4 years older than mukesh. Ten years back the total of their ages was 40 years. Find their present ages.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation

let mukesh's age be x

Then, Rajesh's age will be x +4

Ten years back...

x -10 => Mukesh's age

x - 6 => Rajesh's age

$x - 10 + x - 6 = 40 \\ 2x = 56 \\ x = 28$

Mukesh's age is x = 28 years

Rajesh's age is x +4 = 28+4 = 32 years..
