Question

Sohail's age is 5 years more than Saumya's age. 5 years ago, the sum of their ages was 55 years. Find their present age.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let Saumya's age be x

Sohali's age = x + 5

5 years ago,

Saumya's age = x - 5

Sohali's age = x + 5 - 5 = x

So, (x - 5) + x = 55

2x - 5 = 55

2x = 55 + 5 = 60

X = 60/2 = 30

Present age

Saumya's age = x = 30

Sohali's age = x + 5 = 30 + 5 = 35

Answer 2

Given

Sohail 's age is 5 years more than saumya 's age .

To find

We have to find their present age

$\sf\huge\bold{\underline{\underline{{Solution}}}}$

Let the Sohail age be 'x'

then saumya age be 'x-5'

5 years ago

Sohail age was = x-5

Saumya age 5 years ago= x-5-5=x-10

According to the question

5 years ago the sum of their ages was 55 years

then ,our Equation becomes:

=>x-5+x-10=55

=>x+x-5-10=55

=>2x-15=55

=>2x= 70

=>x= 70/2=35

x=35

hence,Sohail's present age is 35 years

Saumya's present age =x-5=35-5=30 years
