The address of Ainsley is 24 and that of Lane is 25.

Step-by-step explanation:

All the houses on sequence lane have an address whose numerical portions are greater than that of the prior house.

Now, if Ainsley and Lane are next-door neighbors and the sum of the numerical portions of their addresses is 49.

Let the Ainsley has the address with numeric portion x, then Lane has the address with numeric portion x + 1.

Therefore, x + (x + 1) = 49

⇒ 2x = 48

⇒ x = 24

So, the address of Ainsley is 24 and that of Lane is 25. (Answer)
