Question

sum of the present age of Rohan and Rohit is 28 years if Rohan's age is 4 years less than thrice Rohit's how old is each of them

Answer 1

Answer:

The present age of Rohan is 20 years

and the present age of Rohit is 8 years !!

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the present age of Rohan be x

and the present age of Rohit be y

Given, sum of the present age of Rohan and Rohit is 28 years

i.e, x + y = 28 .... ( i )

Also, Rohan's age is 4 years less than thrice Rohit's

x = 3y - 4 .... ( ii )

• Putting value of the x from ii in i

3y - 4 +y = 28

4y = 32

y = 8

Also, x + y = 28 => x = 28 - 8 = 20

So, the Age of Rohan ( x ) is 20 years !!

and that of Rohit's Age ( y ) is 8 years !!
