Question

Ravi is as much younger than Raja as he is older than Rahim. IFf the ages of Raja and RAhim are 48 years and 22 years respectively . What was the age of Ravi when Rahim was born ?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Raja's age = 48 years

rahim' age = 22 years

[ravi is as much younger than raja as he's older than rahim]

So, ravi's age when rahim was born = raja's age - rahim's age

=48-22

=26

Answer 2

Answer:

The age of Ravi was $13$ years when Rahim was born.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that Ravi is much younger than Raja as he is older him.

Let the age of Ravi be $x$ years.

The age difference of Ravi and Raja $=$ the age difference of Ravi and Rahim

Age of Raja $=48$ (given)

Age of Rahim $=22$ (given)

Therefore, $48-x=x-22$

Taking all the $x$ terms to RHS and numbers to LHS, we get : $2x=48+22$

$2x=70\\x=35$

Hence, the age of Ravi is $35$ years.

We need to find the age of Ravi when Rahim was born :

Age difference of Ravi and Rahim is $35-22=13$ years

Therefore, the age of Ravi was $13$ years when Rahim was born.
