let the present age of Rama will be x
then
x+25 =5x
4x=25
×=25/4=6.25
Hence he is 6 years old now
then
x+25 =5x
4x=25
×=25/4=6.25

Let his present age be x years
Therefore after 25 years,his age will be (x+25)
According to question,
x+25=5x
Subtract x from both sides
x+25-x=5x-x
25=4x
4x=25
Divide both sides by 4
4x/4=25/4
x=6.25
Verification:-
According to question,x+25=5x
=>6.25+25=5*6.25
=>31.25=31.25
Since LHS=RHS
Hence proved
His present age is 6.25 years
Therefore after 25 years,his age will be (x+25)
According to question,
x+25=5x
Subtract x from both sides
x+25-x=5x-x
25=4x
4x=25
Divide both sides by 4
4x/4=25/4
x=6.25
Verification:-
According to question,x+25=5x
=>6.25+25=5*6.25
=>31.25=31.25
Since LHS=RHS
Hence proved
His present age is 6.25 years
