Ram and Ravi have the same weight. If they each gain weight by 2 kg, how will their new weights be compared

Solution:

Given, Ram and Ravi have the same weight.

We have to compare their new weights when each of them gains 2kg.

Let the weight of Ram be x kg

So, weight of Ravi = x kg

When each gain weight by 2kg,

Weight of Ram = (x + 2) kg

Weight of Ravi = (x + 2) kg

Using Euclid’s second axiom,

If equals are added to the equals, the wholes are equal.

From the Euclid’s axiom,

(x + 2) = (x + 2)

Therefore, the weight of Ram is equal to the weight of Ravi.
