Question

ram is 10 years older than meeta and rakesh is 5 years younger than Meeta.If the sum of their ages is 65 years, find the ages of ram, rakesh and meeta.

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:let meeta' s age be x.Ram will be x+10 and Rakesh will be x-5 .sum of their ages is 65 years so x+x+10+x-5=65

3x+5=65

3x=60

X=20

Meeta =20years, Rakesh=15years and ram will be 30 years.

Answer 2

Let the age of ram be x , meeta be y and rakesh be z.

x + y + z = 65

Ram is 10 years older than meeta ... I.e x = y + 10

Rakesh is 5 years younger than Meeta , I.e z + 5 = y , z = y - 5

Substitute all these in first equation

y + 10 + y + y - 5 = 65

3y = 60

y = 20

x = y + 10 = 30

z = y - 5 = 15


Age of Ram is 30 , Meeta is 20 and Rakesh is 15
