• A. Naresh=27 years , Dashrath =29 years
• B. Naresh=37 years , Dashrath =29 years
• C. Naresh=27 years , Dashrath =39 years
• D. Naresh=47 years , Dashrath =29 years

Answer 1

The correct option is A Naresh=27 years , Dashrath =29 years

If age of Naresh = x years
So age of Dashrath = x + 2
As per given condition
x + x + 2 = 56
2x = 56 - 2
2x = 54
x = 54/2 = 27 years
So, age of Naresh = 27 years
And age of Dashrath = 27 + 2 = 29 years
