Solution

Answer:
Let Mahesh age = x
And Suresh age = y
And given
x = y + 45 ------------------( 1 )
And
x And y are co-prime numbers .

Now
Mahesh age is reverse of Suresh age
So
If y = 10 So x = 01
But these values can't satisfied our equation 1
If y = 12 so , x = 21
But these values can't satisfied our equation 1
If y = 13 So, x = 31
But these values can't satisfied our equation 1
If y = 14 So, x = 41
But these values can't satisfied our equation 1
If y = 15 So ,x = 51
But these values can't satisfied our equation 1
If y = 16 So , x = 61

These values satisfied our equation 1 As:

61 = 16 + 45
61 = 61 ( Satisfied )
And
16 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2
61 = 61
Hence 16 And 61 are Co-prime numbers

So these are satisfied both our conditions

So,
Age of Mahesh = 61 years And age of Suresh = 16 Years ( Ans )
