Question

5 years ago the ratio of shyam's age to ram's age is 3:2. If ram's present age is 25% less than shyam's present age. What will be ram's age after 10 years

Answer 1

Answer:

y=20 = present age of shyam

x=15 = present age of ram.

Step-by-step explanation:

• let present ram's age be x or y-25%*y= 0.75y
• let present shyam's age be y
• 5 years ago:
• y-5/x-5=3/2
• y-5/0.75y-5=3/2
• cross multiplying
• 2(y-5)=3(0.75y-5)
• 2y-10=2.25y-15
• 2.25y-2y=15-10
• 0.25y=5
• y=20 = present age of shyam
• y=20 = present age of shyamx= 0.75×20=15 = present age of ram.
