Question

Rohit and sohan are two boys whose age add up to 23 Rohit is 5 year older than sohan how old are they

Answer 1

Given Rohit and Sohan's age sums up to 23.

Let Sohan's age be $x$

Let Rohit's age be $x +5$

So, the equation is $x + x + 5 = 23$

$= 2x +5 =23$

$= 2x = 23-5$

$= 2x=18$

$=x = \frac{18}{2}$

$= x = 9$

Therefore, Sohan ($x$) is 9 years old and Rohit $(x+5)$ is 14 years old.

Answer 2

Answer:

Rohit = 14 years
Sohan = 9 years
