Shyam’s age – Rahul’s age = Rahul’s age – Suresh’s age
Suresh’s age + Shyam’s age = 2 Rahul’s age
Shyam’s age + Suresh’s age = 60
Rahul’s age = 30; We can not find the difference between Shyam and Rahul’s age

Rahul is as much younger than Shyam as he is older than Suresh. If the...
Let's assume Rahul's age to be x.
According to the question, Shyam is as much younger than Rahul as he is older than Suresh. This can be written as:
Rahul - Shyam = Shyam - Suresh
Simplifying this equation, we get:
2Shyam = Rahul + Suresh
We also know that the sum of the ages of Shyam and Suresh is 60 years. So, we can write:
Shyam + Suresh = 60
Substituting the value of Shyam + Suresh in terms of Rahul and Suresh from the first equation, we get:
2Shyam = Rahul + Suresh = 60 - Shyam
Simplifying this equation, we get:
3Shyam = 60
Shyam = 20
Now, we can use any of the two equations obtained earlier to find the age of Suresh. Let's use:
Rahul - Shyam = Shyam - Suresh
Substituting the values of Rahul and Shyam, we get:
x - 20 = 20 - Suresh
Simplifying this equation, we get:
Suresh = x - 40
We know that the difference between Shyam and Rahul is:
Shyam - Rahul = Shyam - (x)
Substituting the value of Shyam, we get:
Shyam - Rahul = 20 - x
We need to find the definite difference between Shyam and Rahul, which means we need a numerical value. Let's try to simplify the expression we obtained:
Shyam - Rahul = 20 - x
= 20 - x (since Rahul = x)
= x - 20 (since we want a positive value)
So, the definite difference between Shyam and Rahul is x - 20. We do not know the value of x, so we cannot find the numerical answer. However, we can say that the difference between Shyam and Rahul will always be positive, since Rahul is younger than Shyam.
