Question

Ravi's brother is four years elder to him. If the
sum of the present ages of Ravi and his
brother is 50, what is Ravi's present age?​

Answer 1

Let Ravi's age be x

Ravi's brother = 4 + x

Sum of their ages = 50

x + 4 + x = 50

2x + 4 = 50

2x = 50 - 4

2x = 46

$x = \frac{46}{2}$

x = 23

therefore Ravi's age is 23.

Answer 2

$\sf\huge\bold\red{Given:-}$

Ravi's brother's age = + 4 years than him.

Sum of Ravi and his brother's age = 50 years.

$\sf\huge\bold\red{Find:-}$

Ravi's Present age = ?

ㅤ

$\sf\huge\bold\red{Solution:-}$

Let Ravi's Present age be x years.

Then,

x + 4 + x years = 50 years.

x + x = 50 - 4

2x = 46

x = $\frac{46}{2}$

x = 23

ㅤ

$\bf \longmapsto\underline\red{∴\:Ravi's\:age = 23\:years.}$

ㅤ

His brother's is four years elder than him so,

= 23 + 4

= 27

$\bf \longmapsto\purple{Ravi's\:Brother's\:age = 27\:years.}$
