Question

Sachin is 3 years younger to Reema. Sum of their ages is 27 years. Find the age of Reema.​

Answer 1

Answer:

let Reema age be x

Sachin age is 3

age of reema is 3+x

their total age is 27 yrs

Reema age=> 3+x = 27

=> 3x = 27

=> x = 27

3

=>x = 9

Answer 2

Answer:

The age of Reema is 15 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the age of Sachin be 'x' and that of Reema be 'y'

According to the condition given in the question,

x = y - 3  => x - y = -3              --(i)

and x + y = 27                        --(ii)

Solving equation (i) and (ii) simultaneously,

On adding, we get,

2x = 24

=> x = 24/2

=> x = 12

We know that x = y - 3

Therefore, y = x + 3

=> y = 12 + 3

=> y = 15

Therefore the age of Reema is 15 years.
