Question

The average of two persons is 32 years, one is elder by other by 16 years the age of two persons are

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the age elder person be x and younger person be y

Average =x +y/2

32=x+y/2

X+y=2×32

X+y=64------------------------eqn.1

The elder one is 16yrs more than other

Y+16=x---------------------------------------------eqn.2

Putting eqn.2 in eqn.1 ....we get

(Y+16)+y=64

2y+16=64

2y=64-16

2y=48

Y=24

And putting this in eqn.2 ...we get

X=16+24=40

Therefore, the age of two persons are 24yrs.and 40 yes.
