Of Aryan.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Aryan's age is 16 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the present age of Aryan be x years

the present age of Kartik be y years.

(x-2)=7(y-2)

x-2=7y-14

x-7y=-12. ---------(1)

(x+8)=2(y+8)

x+8=2y+16

x-2y=8. ----------(2)

x -2y= 8. ---------(2)

x -7y= -12. ----------(1)

(-). (+) (+)

5y= 20

y=4

put y=4 in eq (1)

x-7*4= -12

x=-12+28

x=16

therefore Aryan's age is 16 years

Kartik's age is 4 years
