Answer 2

Given :

⬤ Soninis younger than Smita by 7 years .

⬤ Sum of their ages is 53 years .

To Find :

⬤ Age of Smita .

Solution :

Let :

• Age of Smita be x .
• Age of Soni be x - 7.

As given that , Sum of thier ages is 53 years . Hence ,

$\sf{x+x-7=53}$

2x - 7 = 53

2x = 53 + 7

2x = 60

x = 60/2

x = 30

Therefore , The Value of x is 30 .

Hence ,

Age of Smita = x

= 30

Age of Soni = x - 7

= 30 - 7

= 23

Therefore , Age of Smita is 30 years and Age of Soni is 23 years .
