Question

Reena is $6$ years older than her brother ajay. If the sum of their ages is $28$ years. What are their present ages?

Answer 1

Let Reena's present age be x years

$\Rightarrow$ Ajay's present age$=x-6$

and $x+x-6=28$

$\Rightarrow 2x=34$

$\Rightarrow x=17$

$\Rightarrow$ Reena's age$=17$,

Ajay's age$=11$.
