Question

Reena is 6 years older than her brother ajay. If the sunm of their age is 28 years . What are yhe their present age

Answer 1

Let the age of REENA be x and AJAY be y.

So, it is given that x = y+6------(1)

Again, x + y = 28

From (1)

(y+6) + y = 28

2y+6=28

2y=28-6

2y=22

y=22/2

So y=11

Therefore,x=y+6

x=11+6

So x=17.
