Answer 2

Answer:

The anwser to the question is 11 and 16.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a question from the chapter age. In this question we have to find out rakesh's age and sania's age.

It is given in the question that rakesh's age is less than sania's age byfive years. It means rakesh is five year younger to sania. The sum of rakersh's age and sania's age is given, it is 27 years.

We know rakesh is five year younger to sania

Let the age of sania is x

So, the age of rakesh would be x-5

The sum of their ages is 27

The equation is

                      x + ( x - 5 ) = 27

                       x + x - 5 = 27

                       2x - 5 = 27

                       2x = 27 + 5

                       2x = 32

                        x = 32/2

                        x = 16

The age of sania is 16 years

The age of rakesh is 16 - 5 = 11 years.
