Let's assume Pramod's age as 'x'. So, Anuj's age will be 'x + 7' because the problem states that Anuj is 7 years older than Pramod.
Now, we know that the sum of their ages is 33 years. We can write this as an equation:
x + (x + 7) = 33.
Combining like terms, the equation becomes:
2x + 7 = 33.
Next, subtract 7 from both sides of the equation:
2x = 33 - 7,
2x = 26.
Finally, divide both sides of the equation by 2:
x = 26 / 2,
x = 13.
So, Pramod's age is 13 years. Now, we can find Anuj's age by adding 7 to Pramod's age:
Anuj's age = 13 + 7,
Anuj's age = 20.
Therefore, Pramod is 13 years old, and Anuj is 20 years old.
