  1. Let, the present age of Rupali be xyears and that of dipali be yyears.

    As per condition 1 ie., Sum of the ages of rupnali and Dipali is 34 years.

    The equation becomes,

    x+y=34 ● 1

    As per condition 2 i.e., Rupali is younger than Sonali by 6 years.

    The equation becomes,

    x – y = 6

    x = 6 + y ●

    substitution x in eq 1

    (6 + y) + y = 34

    6 + 2y = 34

    2y = 28

    y = 14

    hence dipali’s age is 14 years

    now rupali’s age=

    x – y = 6

    x – 14 = 6

    x = 20

    hence dipali’s age is 20 years
