Answer 2

Answer:

Nishu and Sanju present age are 11 and 17 year respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Sanju is 6 years older than his brother Nishu. If the sum of their ages is 28 years.

To find : What are their present age ?

Solution :

Let the Nishu age be 'x'.

Sanju is 6 years older than his brother Nishu.

So, Sanju age became 'x+6'

According to question,

The sum of their ages is 28 years.

i.e. $x+x+6=28$

$2x+6=28$

$2x=28-6$

$2x=22$

$x=\frac{22}{2}$

$x=11$

Nishu age is 11 year.

Sanju age is 11+6=17 year

Therefore, Nishu and Sanju present age are 11 and 17 year respectively.
