Question

The sum of Ritu’s age and asha’s age is 25. Asha is one year older than two times Ritu’s age.Find their ages

Answer 1

Answer: Ritu = 8 years && Asha = 17 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Ritu's age be 'R' && Asha's be 'A'

R + A = 25 ....(i)

A = 1 + 2R ....(ii)

(ii) in (i)

R + 1 + 2R = 25

3R = 24

R = 24/3 = 8 years

A = 25-8 = 17 years
