Question

rekha is younger than meena by 7 years . the sum of their ages is 53 years. what is meena age?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let Rekha's age be x years,

and Meena's age be y years.

As per the question, Rekha is younger than Meena by 7 years,

Therefore, x + 7 = y

=> y - x = 7 ----equation 1

And, it is also given that sum of their ages is 53 years,

Therefore, x+y= 53 ----equation 2

Adding equation 1 and equation 2, we get

=> 2y = 60

=> y = 60/2

=> y = 30

Now, putting the value of y in equation 2 , we get

=> x + 30 = 53

=> x = 53 - 30

=> x = 23

Hence, Rekha's age is 23 year and Meena's age is 30 years.
