Ram is 5years elder than Lakshman who is 4 years elder than Bharath. The sum of their ages is 61. Find the age of Lakshman.

Answers (1)

Let the age of Bharath be x.

Age of Laxman = x + 4

Age of Ram= x + 4 + 5

Equation :

(x) + (x + 4) +( x + 4 + 5) = 61

3x + 13 = 61

3x = 61 - 13                         ( by transposition)

3x = 48

x = 48/3                              ( by transpostion)

x = 16

Age of Bharat = x = 16

Age of Laxman = x + 4 = 16 + 4 = 20
