Question

Ram is 5 years older than Shyam. Rahim is 3 years younger than shyam. If product of ages of Ram and Rahim is 9 then find the age of Shyam. ​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Ram is x+5 years

Shyam is x years

Rahim is 3-x

5+x+x+3-x =9

8+x=9

X=1

Thus shyam is 1year

Ram is 6 years

Riam is 2 years

This the answer.

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the age of shyam be='x' yrs

Ram. = x +5 yrs

Rahim = x -3 yrs

prduct the age of Ram and Rahim = 9

ATQ

(x +5) * (x-3) = 9

x² -3x +5x -15 = 9

x²+2x -15 = 9

x² +2x = 9+15= 24

x²+2x = 24

x² +2x-24=0

x² +6x-4x -24 =0

x(x+6) -4(x+6)=0

(x+6) (x-4)=0

x+6=0 =x=-6. --------×××××

x-4 =0 =x=4 yrs old is shyam

Ram =x+5 =4+5 = 9yrs

Rahim = x-3=4-3 =1yrs

the product of age of ram and rahim =9

9×1 =9

9= 9
