with full step by step exampletion.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the present age of Ajay be x years.

According to question, Yusuf's age is 24 years older than half of Ajay's age.

Hence, Present age of Yusaf = (1x/2 + 24) years

Now, 5 years ago , Ajay's age = x - 5

5 years ago , Yusaf's age = 1x/2 + 24 - 5

= 1x/2 + 19

It's given that five years ago , sum of their ages was 41 years.

Therefore,

x - 5 + 1x/2 + 19 = 41

→ x + 1x/2 + 19 - 5 = 41

→ 3x/2 + 14 = 41

→ 3x/2 = 41 - 14

→ 3x/2 = 27

→ x = 27 × 2/3

→ x = 18

So, Ajay's age = 18 years

Yusaf's age = 1x/2 + 24

= 1× 18/2 + 24

= 9 + 24

= 33 years
