Answer : The ages of the brother and sister are, 10 and 16 years respectively.
Solution :
Let the age of brother be 'x' and the age of sister be 'y'
There are two equations formed which are,
x + y = 26 ..........(1)
3y - 4x = 8 ..........(2)
First we have to multiple equation (1) by 4 and then added equation (1) and (2), we get the value of 'y'.
Now put the value of 'y' in equation (2), we get the value of 'x'
3(16) - 4x = 8
4x = 40
x = 10
The age of brother = x = 10 years
The age of sister = y = 16 years
Therefore, the ages of the brother and sister are, 10 and 16 years respectively.
