Question

(a) Ram is twice as old as Shyam. If 10 years ago, Ram was 4 times as old as Shyam, then the present ages of Ram and Shyam are ______​​

Answer 1

Ram is 30 and shyam is 15 years old now.

Step-by-step explanation:

think, in present shyam's age is x

so, ram's age is 2x

10 years ago shyam's age was x-10

and ram's age was 4(x-10)

ATQ

4(X-10)=2x-10

or, 4x-40=2x-10

or, 4x-2x=40-10

or, 2x=30

or, x=30÷2

or, x=15

so,

shyam is now 15 years old and ram is now 2x=2×x=2×15=30 years old.
