Answer 1

The sum of ages of 5 children born at the intervals of 3 years each is 50 years. What is the age of the youngest child? Since, the children were born at the interval of three years ,let us assume their age as x, x+3,x+6,x+9,x+12. Hence, age of the youngest child is 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.
