  1. Question 1

    Q1. A is older than B by 5 years. If the sum of their ages is 25, how old is A?

    • A) 10
    • B) 12.5
    • C) 15
    • D) 17.5

    Answer: 15

    Explanation: Let's denote A's age as x and B's age as y. So, x = y + 5 and x + y = 25. Substituting x in the second equation gives y + 5 + y = 25, simplifying to 2y = 20, hence y = 10, and x = 15.
