Answer 1

age of ram's uncle after 5yrs from today will be 45 years

Answer 2

Answer:

Ram's uncle age = 50 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Ram is 30 year younger than his uncle (present)

five years ago Ram was  1/4 as his uncle        

here we need to find Ram's uncle age after 5 years from today  

Let x be the Ram's uncles age

from given data Ram is 30 years younger than his uncle

     Ram's age = x - 30

five years ago Ram's uncle age = x-5

Ram's age = x - 30 - 5 = x - 35 which is 1/4 th of his uncles's age

       (x-35) = $\frac{1}{4} (x-5)$  

       4x - 140 = x - 5

        3x = 135

          x = 45 years    

after 5 years Ram's uncle age = 45+5 = 50 years
