Question

Sum of the present ages of Sailja and Payal is 29 years. If Sailja is younger and the
difference of their ages 3 years ago was 5 years, find their ages 2 years from now.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Now, Sailja is younger and the difference of their ages 3 years ago was 5 years. So, their ages 3 years ago will be (x - 3) and (y - 3). ∴ x = Payal's age = 32/2 => 16 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

hope it helps you!!!!

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the present age of Sailja be x

and Payal be y

According to the question,

x + y = 29

x = 29 - y eq(i)

years ago,

(x - 3) - 5= (y - 3)

x - 8 = y - 3

x = y + 5 eq(ii)

29 - y = y + 5

-2y = -24

y = 12

Put the value of y = 12 in eq (i)

x = 29 - 12

x = 17

After 2 years

x + 2 = Age of Salijia = 17 + 2 = 19 years

y + 2 = Age of Payal = 12 + 2 = 14 years

Hope it helps!!
