Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :-

Rohit’s age is 3 times the age of his younger brother’s age.

The sum of their ages is 24 years.

To find :-

Rohit's age

Solution :-

Let the age of younger brother of Rohit be

X years

Rohit's age = 3× age of younger brother

Rohit's age = 3×X

Rohit's age = 3X years

Given that

The sum of their ages = 24 years

Therefore, 3X + X = 24

=> 4X = 24

=> X = 24/4

=> X = 6

Therefore, X = 6 years

Rohit's age = 3X = 3(6) = 18 years

Answer :-

The age of Rohit is 18 years

Check :-

We have,

X = 6 years

Age of Younger brother of Rohit = 6 years

Age of Rohit = 18 years

= 3(6)

= 3 times the age of his younger brother

Sum of their ages = 6+18 = 24 years
