Answer 2

Given that,

Rani is 8 years older than Shweta.

In order to find their ages, let's assume that the age of Rani = x

If age of Rani is x
Then Shweta's age = x - 8 (Since Shweta is younger)


Now given that the sum of their ages is 26

=> Age of Rani + age of Shweta = 26

=> x + x - 8 = 26

=> 2x - 8 = 26

=> 2x = 26 + 8

=> 2x = 34

=> x = 34/2

=> x = 17years

Since we have assumed that x = Rani's age
so Rani's age = 17 years

Now Shweta's age = x - 8

=> 17 - 8

=> 9

So Rani's age = 17 years
Shweta's age = 9 years


Hope it helps dear friend ☺️
