Answer 1

Answer:

ganesh age is 15 and Ramesh age is 20

Answer 2

The ages of Ganesh = 20 years and

The ages of Ramesh = 15 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the ages of Ganesh = x years and

The ages of Ramesh = y years

To find, the ages of Ramesh and Ganesh = ?

According to question,

x + y = 35             ............. (1)

Also,

x = y + 5

⇒ x - y = 5               ............. (2)

Adding equations (1) and (2), we get

x + y + x - y = 35 + 5    

⇒ 2x = 40

⇒ x = 20

Put x = 20 in equation (1), we get

20 + y = 35    

⇒ y = 35 - 20 = 15  

∴ The ages of Ganesh = 20 years and

The ages of Ramesh = 15 years
