Answer 1

Ages of Shyam & Ram is 2 & 10 years respectively

Answer 2

ANSWER WITH FULL EXPLANATION
It is given that Ram is 5 times as old as Shyam and the difference of their ages is 8. 
So, 
Let the age of Shyam be $x$ years. 
Age of Ram = $5x$years
Difference between their ages = 8
By using the given information, we can FORM one EQUATION!!! 
Now, solve this equation and find the value of $x$. 
ATQ
Difference between their ages is 8. 
⇒ $5x-x = 8$
⇒ $4x = 8$                [∵ $5x-x = 4x$]
⇒ $\frac{4x}{4} = \frac{8}{4}$                      [Dividing both sides by 4. ]
⇒ $x = 2$

Age of Ram = $5x$ years = $5*2$ years = 10
∴ Ram is 10 years old.
