6:5, find their present ages.
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Ram is 50 years old

sham is 40 years old

Answer 2

Answer:

present Ram age is let be 5x

present age of Sham be 4x

After 10 years Ram age=5x+10

After 10 years Sham age=4x+10

Given,after 10 years ratio of Ram and Sham ages are 6:5

means that,

5x+10. 6/5

——— =

4x+10

cross multiply them

5(5x+10)=6(4x+10)

25x+50=24x+60

25x-24x=60-50

x=10

therefore,Present age of Ram=5x=5(10)=50years

Present age of Sham=4x=4(10)=40years
