Answer 1

Let the ages of children be x, (x + 3), (x + 6), (x + 9) and (x + 12) years.

Then, x + (x + 3) + (x + 6) + (x + 9) + (x + 12) = 50

5x = 20

x = 4.
 Age of the youngest child = x = 4 years.

Answer 2

Answer:

Let the ages of children be x, (x + 3), (x + 6), (x + 9), (x + 12) years.

According to Question now,

➳ x + (x + 3) + (x + 6) + (x + 9) + (x + 12) = 50

➳ 5x + 30 = 50

➳ 5x = 50 - 30

➳ x = 20/5

➳ x = 4 years

Therefore,the age of youngest child is 4 years.
