Answer» GIVEN :- difference between the ages of gopal and his FATHER is 26 YEARS. sum of their ages is 56 years. TO FIND :- The age of gopal and his father. SOLUTION :- Let the age of gopal be "y" years and age of father be "x" years. ➠ Father age - Gopal age = 26 ➠ x - y = 26 ➠ x = 26 + y .....Eq(1) Similarly, ➠ Gopal age + Father age = 56 ➠ x + y = 56 Now substitute the value of x from EQUATION 1. ➠ 26 + y + y = 56 ➠ 26 + 2Y = 56 ➠ 2y = 56 - 26 ➠ y = 30/2 ➠ y = 15 Now put the value of y in Equation 1. ➠ x = 26 + y ➠ x = 26 + 15 ➠ x = 41 Hence the age of son is 15 years and age of father is 41 years. $\text{[math]}$

Answer»

GIVEN :-

TO FIND :-

SOLUTION :-

Let the age of gopal be "y" years and age of father be "x" years.

➠ Father age - Gopal age = 26

➠ x - y = 26

➠ x = 26 + y .....Eq(1)

Similarly,

➠ Gopal age + Father age = 56

➠ x + y = 56

Now substitute the value of x from EQUATION 1.

➠ 26 + y + y = 56

➠ 26 + 2Y = 56

➠ 2y = 56 - 26

➠ y = 30/2

➠ y = 15

Now put the value of y in Equation 1.

➠ x = 26 + y

➠ x = 26 + 15

➠ x = 41

Hence the age of son is 15 years and age of father is 41 years.
