Answer 1

Answer :

• Deepak's age = 20 years.
• Nitin's age = 24 years.

Explanation :

The sum of the age of Nitin & Deepak is 44 years.

Where, Nitin is 4 years elder than Deepak.

Find their present age.

Let's say the Deepak's age is ‘x’ years.

Then, Nitin's age would be (x + 4) years.

According to the question,

→ x + (x + 4) = 44

→ x + x + 4 = 44

→ 2x + 4 = 44

→ 2x = 44 - 4

→ 2x = 40

→ x = 40/2

→ x = 20

Hence, the age of -

• Deepak = 20 years.
• Nitin = (x + 4) = 24 years.

Answer 2

Given:-

• Sum of ages of Nitin and Deepak is 44 years.
• Nitin is elder to Deepak by 4 years.

To Find:-

• Present ages of Deepak and Nitin?

Solution:-

Let the age of Deepak be 'x'

• Age of Deepak = 'x'
• Hence, Age of Nitin = 'x + 4'

According to the question

$⇢x + (x + 4) = 44 \\ \\⇢x + x + 4 = 44 \\ \\ ⇢2x + 4 = 44 \\ \\⇢2x = 44 - 4 \\ \\⇢ 2x = 40 \\ \\ ⇢x = \frac{40}{2} \\ \\ ⇢x = 20$

Now their ages

• Age of Nitin = x = 20
• Age of Deepak = (x + 4) = 20 + 4 = 24

Hence, the age of Nitin is 20 years and Deepak is 24 years.
