the sum of the age age of Priyanka and Deepika is 34 years Priyanka is elder to Deepika why 6 years then find there today's age
Answers
It will be solved using two case and substitution method
Case 1
Let their present ages be x and y respectively
so, x + y = 34 solve and take out value of x from eqn1
Case 2
x = y + 6 then put the value of x from eqn 1
and replace the value of y as well
you will get your answer
Answer:
Age of Priyanka = 20 years
Age pf Deepika = 14 years
Explanation:
Let
The today's priyanka's age = x
The today's Deepika age = y
By the given first condition,
x + y = 34 -------- (i)
By the second condition,
x = y - 6
i.e. x - y = 6
Therefore, x - y = 6 ------------ (ii)
From equation (i) and (ii)
x + y = 34
x - y = 6 (Eliminating y)
______________
2x = 40
x = 20
Therefore, Present age of Priyanka = 20 years
Present age of Deepika = 34 - (Age of priyanka)
= 34 - 20
= 14 years
Therefore, Present age of Deepika is 14 years
