उत्तर

10

Explanation:

Let Ajay's age be x years and Vijay's age be y years.

Ajay is younger than Vijay by 5 years.

y - x = 5    ...(I)

Sum of their ages is 25 years.

x + y = 25   ...(II)

Adding (I) and (II) we have

2y = 30

⇒ y = 15

x = 10

Thus, Ajay's age is 10 years.

The sum of the two-digit number and the number obtained by interchanging the digits is 132. The digit in the ten’s place is 2 more than the digit in the unit’s place. Complete the activity to find the original number.

Activity: Let the digit in the unit’s place be y and the digit in the ten’s place be x.

∴ The number = 10x + y

∴ The number obtained by interchanging the digits = `square`

∴ The sum of the number and the number obtained by interchanging the digits = 132

∴ 10x + y + 10y + x = `square`

∴ x + y = `square`   ...(i)

By second condition,

Digit in the ten’s place = digit in the unit’s place + 2

∴ x – y = 2   ...(ii)

Solving equations (i) and (ii)

∴ x = `square`, y = `square`

Ans: The original number = `square`
