Question

The sum of the ages of Rupali and Dipali is 34 years. Rupali is 6 years younger than
Dipali. Find their present ages.​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

let the age of rupali be x a d dipali be y

x+y=34

y=x-6

x+x-6=34

2x=40

x=20

y=14

Answer 2

$\textrm{Age of Rupali + Age of Dipali = 34 years}$

$\longrightarrow\rm{(6+x) + x = 34 \:years\quad...\:Considering\:Age\:of\:Dipali = x}$

$\longrightarrow\rm{6+x + x = 34 \:years}\longrightarrow\rm{6+2x = 34 \:years}$

$\longrightarrow\rm{2x = 34 \:years - 6\:years = 28\:years}$

$\longrightarrow\rm{x = 28/2\:years}\longrightarrow\rm{x = 14\:years}$

$\bigstar\textrm{ Hence, Age of Deepali = 14 years \& Age of Rupali = 14 years + 6 years = 20 years}$
