Answer 1

Answer:

33/8years

Step-by-step explanation:

let the present age of ram be 11x

and, the present age of rahim be 6x

6years ago,

age of ram was 11x-6

age of rahim was 6x-6

Acc to question

rahim age = 2 x ram age

6x-6=2*(11x-6)

6x-6=22x-12

-6+12=22x-6x

6=16x

3=8x

x=3/8

present age of ram=11x

=11(3/8)

=33/8years
