Question

Ram is 3 times as old as his little brother shyam. After 3 yeara he will be twice as old as shyam, will be then. Find their present age.

Answer 1

Answer:

Ram's age is 9yrs

Shyam's age is 3 yrs

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Ram's age be x

Shyam's age be y

ATQ

x = 3y —(I)

Also

x + 3 = 2(y + 3)

x + 3 = 2y + 6

x - 2y = 3

Substituting (I)

3y - 2y = 3

y = 3

x = 9

----> Ram is 9yrs old while Shyam is 3yrs old
