Question

Sarthak's present age is \( x \) years and Sakshi's present age is \( y \) years. "The sum of the present ages of Sarthak and Sakshi is 25" gives which equation?

पर्याय

• \( x - y = 25 \)

• \( x + y = 25 \)

• \( 2x + 2y = 25 \)

• \( x + y = 50 \)

Answer 1

The word "sum" means add the two ages, and "is 25" gives the equals sign with 25 on the right. Therefore \( x + y = 25 \).
