Explanation:
The correct version is, “Ram as well as his friends are coming for lunch”.
The other correct usage would be, “Ram as well as his friend is coming for lunch”.
The conjunction, “as well as” denotes two subjects/objects separately and individually.
So, “Ram” and “his friends” become two separate subjects. The succeding verb which immediately comes after “his friends” or “his friend” is determined by the number in which the second subject is.
Here, the second subject, “his friends” is plural in number, therefore, we use the (auxiliary) verb “are”, after the second subject and in accordance with the number in which the second subject is.
