Step-by-step explanation:
let present age of Ramu be x
age of Ramu 5 years ago=x-5
age of Ramu 9 years later=x+9
ATQ,
(x-5)(x+9)=15
x²+9x-5x-45=15
x²+4x-45-15=0
x²+4x-60=0
x²+10x-6x-60=0
x(x+10)-6(x+10)=0
(x-6)(x+10)=0
x=6
x=-10, rejected as x is age and age cannot be negative
therefore
present age of Ramu=6 years
