Answer:

The age of youngest friend = 14 years

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that, four friends were born on consecutive years the sum of their ages is 62

Let 'x' be the age of youngest friend

age of other friends are (x + 1), (x + 2) and (x + 3)

To find the age of youngest friend

From the given information we can write,

x +  (x + 1) + (x + 2) + (x + 3) = 62

4x + 6 = 62

4x = 62 - 6 = 56

x = 56/4 = 14

Therefore age of youngest friend = 14
