Answer 2

Answer:

The age of Ram is 18 years ( Option A )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given, Sum of both ages is 28 years,

and Ram is 8 years older than Shyam.

Let, the age of Ram is x,

and age of Shyam is y.

Now, according to question

x = y + 8 or x - y = 8---------- equation 1

x + y = 28 ------------ equation 2

By adding both equations

x + x - y + y = 8 + 28

2x = 36

x = 36/2

x = 18 years

The age of Ram is 18 years.
