Question

the sum age rehan and arman is 34 years .rehan is elder to arman by 6 years . the find the present age .​

Answer 1

We have :-

• The sum of age of Rehan and Arman is 34 years .
• Rehan is elder to Arman by 6 years .

To find :-

★ The present age of Rehan.

★ The present age of Arman .

Solution :-

let Arman's present age = x years .

as Rehan is elder Arman by 6 years therefore Rehan's present age would be ( x + 6 ) years .

• the sum of their ages is 34 years .

therefore,

=> x +( x + 6 ) = 34

=> x + x + 6 = 34

=> 2x + 6 = 34

=> 2x = 34 – 6

=> 2x = 28

=> x = 28/2

=> x = 14 .

hence, Arman's present age = 14 years .

so Rehan's present = ( 14 + 6 ) 20 years as he is 6 years older than Arman .

the required age of Arman and Rehan is 14 years and 20 years respectively .
