Question

ram is three years elder then mohan. but sita is five years elder than ram, the sum of their ages is 50 years then find the age of each of them​

Answer 1

Answer:

x is 16 years old

y is 13 years old

z is 21 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Ram's age be x

Let Mohan's age be y

Let Seta's age be z

Ram is three years elder then Mohan

x -3 = y

x - y = 3

Sita is five years elder than Ram

z  = x + 5

x - z = -5

The sum of their ages is 50 years

x + y + z = 50

Write y and z in the terms of x

y = x - 3

z = x + 5

x + x - 3 + x + 5 = 50

3x + 2 = 50

3x = 48

x = 16

y = x - 3 = 16 - 3 = 13

z = x + 5 = 16 + 5 = 21

x is 16 years old

y is 13 years old

z is 21 years old
