Solution

Let's denote the ages of Sunil, Kamal, and Amal as S, K, and A respectively.

From the problem, we have two equations:

  1. S + K + A = 18 (since the sum of their ages is 18 years)

  2. S + K = 5A (since the sum of the ages of Sunil and Kamal is five times the age of Amal)

We can solve these equations step by step:

First, substitute the second equation into the first one:

5A + A = 18 6A = 18 A = 18 / 6 A = 3

So, Amal is 3 years old.
