Answer 1

Answer:

36& 9

Rams age=4x=36

Son's age=x=9

(4x+5) {Ram's age} + x+5 {Son's age}= 55

5x+10=55

5x=45.

X=9

please be thankful

Answer 2

Answer:

Let the age of Ram be 4x and his son be x

so,

$(4x + 5) + (x + 5) = 55 \\ 4x + 5 + x + 5 = 55 \\ 5x + 10 = 55 \\ 5x = 55 - 10 \\ x = \frac{45}{5} \\ x = 9$

So the present age of Ram is 36 years and his son is 4 years
