Answer:
let the ratio of the present age of ram and rahim be 5x and 6x
then 12 years ago their age was 2x-12 and 3x-12
5x/6×=2x-12/3x-12
by cross multiplication we have,
5x(3x-12)=6x(2x-12)
15xsquare-60x=12xsquare-72x
15xsquare-12x2square=72x-60x
3xsquare=12x
x=4
ram present age = 5x=5×4=20 years
rahim present age=6x=6×4=24 years
sum of their present age is 20+24=44
