Question

Ritu is 6 years older than her brother Anuj.If the sum of their ages is 28 years, what are their present ages?

Answer 1

Solutions :-


Let the Anuj's age be x
Ritu's age = x + 6

Sum of their ages = 28 years


A/q

=> x + x + 6 = 28
=> 2x = 28 - 6
=> 2x = 22
=> x = 22/2 = 11


Hence,
Anuj's age = x = 11 years
Ritu's age = x + 6 = 11 + 6 = 17 years

Answer 2

Let consider Brother age is x

Ritu age=x+6

sum of their ages is=28

x+x+6=28

2x+6=28

2x=28-6

2x=22

x=22/2

x=11

Brother age is=11 years

Ritu age=11+6=17
