Question

Ria’s age is x years old.Jai’s age is x/2 + 5.If Jai is elder than Amit,which of these could be the possible relation between Amit’s and Ria’s age?

Answer 1

Ria is older than Amit

Explanation:

x is ria's age

x = 1/2 x + 5

(subtract 1/2 x from both sides)

1/2 x = 5

(divide by 1/2)

x = 10

Ria is 10

x/2 + 5 is Jay's age

10/2 + 5 = 10

Ria and Jay are the same age, so if Jay is older than Amit, Ria is as well.
