pls help​

Answer 1

Answer:

26 is ram and 16 is shyam

Step-by-step explanation:

the sum of the ages- 42

difference between ages- 16

rams age- 42-16

26 = ram

16 added to 26 makes 42

Which means that sham's age is 16 since he is younger

and Ram's age is 26 since hes older.

Answer 2

Answer:

Let age of sham be x .

Rams age =42-x

Difference between Ram's and shams age is 16

According to the question

42-x(rams age) - x( shams age) = 16

42-2x = 16

-2x = 16-42

-2x = -26

x = -26/-2 = 13

Rams age = 42-x = 42 -13=29

and shams age is x = 13
