Question

Ram is 3 times as old as rahim . Five year letter Ram will be two and half time as old Rahima how old are Ram and Rahim now

Answer 1

Let the present age of Ram be x and Rahim be y.

Then, x = 3y
Given, x + 5 = 2½times (y+5)

Putting the value of x in the second equation,
we get,
3y + 5 = 5/2 × (y + 5)
3y + 5 = 5/2 + 25/2
3y - 5/2 = 25/2 - 5
1/2y = 15/2
SO, y = 15/2 × 2
y = 15

Putting this value in the first equation,
we get,
x = 3y
x = 3 × 15
x = 45.

Hence, age of Ram is 45 and Rahim is 15.
