Question

Nora is 4 years older than Hina . If the sum of their ages is at most 45 years ,find the maximum possible age of Hina. *

b) 25 years

a) 20 years

c) 15 years

choose the correct answer
​

Answer 1

a) 20 years

Explanation:

Hina: x

Nora: x + 4

x + x + 4 ≤ 45

2x + 4 ≤ 45

2x ≤ 41

x ≤ 20.5

20 years old and 15 years old would be ≤ 20.5 but the question asked for maximum possible age so 20 years old it is.
