Question

Ramu and Raju are brothers Ramu is two years older than Darasal some of their age is 26 find out the age of Ramu and Raju​

Answer 1

Answer:

let Ramu's age be x

Raju's age be x-2

x+x-2=26

2x-2=26

2x=26+2

2x=28

x = 28/28

x = 14

so, Ramu's age=x=14

Raju's age=x-2=14-2

= 12

Answer 2

Linear Equations

We have been provided that Ramu and Raju are brothers Ramu is two years older than Darasal some of their age is 26. With this information, we have been asked to find out the age of Ramu and Raju.

Let us assume that Ramu's age is $x$. Therefore the age of Raju's is $x-2$.

Now according tp the given question,

$\implies x+x-2=26 \\ \\ \implies 2x-2=26 \\ \\ \implies 2x = 26+2 \\ \\ \implies 2x = 28 \\ \\ \implies x = \cancel{\dfrac{28}{2}} \\ \\ \implies \boxed{x = 14}$

Therefore, Ramu age, x = 14 years

And, Raju age, x -2 = 14 - 2 = 12 years

Hence, the age of Ramu and Raju are 14 years and 12 years old respectively.
