1.	The difference between the ages of Gopal and his father is 26 years. If the sum of their ages is 56 years, find the ages of Gopal and his father.
Answer» There are two possibilities. Either assume that ages can be in decimals too. Or, we say that the data given is not right. Father + Son = 47 yearsFather - Son = 26 years Sum both equations to get Father's age. Father = 73/2 = 36.5 years or 36 years 6 months. So use the first equation to get Son's age. Son = 47 - 36.5 = 10.5 years or 10 years and 6 months. the answer is gopal =15yrs,father=41yrs

There are two possibilities. Either assume that ages can be in decimals too. Or, we say that the data given is not right.

Father + Son = 47 yearsFather - Son = 26 years

Sum both equations to get Father's age. Father = 73/2 = 36.5 years or 36 years 6 months.

So use the first equation to get Son's age. Son = 47 - 36.5 = 10.5 years or 10 years and 6 months.

the answer is gopal =15yrs,father=41yrs
