Question

sheikh is 3 years younger to his ravish if the sum of their ages is 37 years what are their present ages

Answer 1

Ravish's age = x

Sheikh's age = x - 3

x + x - 3 = 37

2x = 40

Therefore, x = 20

Ravish's age = 20

Sheikh's age = 17

Answer 2

Let the age of Ravish be x
And according to the question, the age of Sheikh becomes x+3

Now adding the ages
x+3+x =37
2x+3=37 Ravish =17 years
2x=37-3 Sheikh = x+3=20 year
2x=34
x=34/2
x=17
