Step-by-step explanation:

let us assume that B's age is x years.

so, A's age is 4x years.

then... 4x+x = 55

or, 5x = 55

or, x = 55/5=11 years

B's age is 11 years and A's age is 44 years.

Answer:

  • Age of A = 44 years
  • Age of B = 11 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution :

Let,

  • B's age = x
  • A's age = 4x

According to the Question :

Sum of the ages of A and B is 55 years.

⇒ (x) + (4x) = 55

⇒ 5x = 55

⇒ x = 55/5

x = 11

B's age = 11 years

A's age = 4x

⇒ 4 (11)

⇒ 44

A's age = 44 years

Sum of the ages of A and B is 55 years.

B's age + A's age = 55 years

11 years + 44 years = 55 years

Therefore, Age of A = 44 years

and age of B = 11 years
