Question

the age of sumit is 5 years more than his brother yashas then the sum of their ages is 17 years find their present ages​

Answer 1

Let the age of sumit be x and that of yashas be y

Then

x=y+5...... (1)

x+y=17.....(2)

Putting value of x in 2

y+5+y=17

2y=12

y=6

x=6+5

x=11

Hence the age of sumit is 11 and that of yashas is 6

Answer 2

Answer:

yash age =x

Sumit age = x+5

x+x+5 = 17

2x =17-5

x = 12/2

x= 6

yashas age =6

Sumit age = 6+5

= 11
