Question

Samaira is 7 years older than her brother Ram. If the sum of their ages is 35 years, what is the present age of Samaira?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Ram's age be x.

Let Samaira's age be (x+7)

Now sum of ages = 35

∴ x + (x+7) = 35

⇒2x + 7 = 35

⇒2x = 35 - 7

⇒2x = 28

⇒x = 28/2

∴x = 14

∴ samaira's present age = (x+7) ⇒ 14+7  

⇒21 years

Answer 2

LET RAM'S AGE BE X

SAMAIRA'S AGE = 7+X

SUM OF AGES =35

X+X+7=35

2X=28

X=14

SAMAIRA'S PRESENT AGE = 14+7= 21
