Question

Ram is half his father's age now. Ten years ago he was one -third his father's age then. what are their present ages? ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Ram = 25 years , Father = 50 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the age of Ram's father be x.

Since Ram's age is half than his father's age so age of Ram is x/2.

20 years ago age of Ram and his father will be x/2 - 20 and x - 20 respectively.

Question says that age of Father will 6 times than the age of Ram therefore,

⇒x - 20 = 3x - 120

⇒- 20 + 120 = 3x - x

⇒100 = 2x

⇒100/2 = x

50 years = Ram's father age

Since age of Ram is half of his father's age.

⇒ Age of Ram = 50/2 years

25 years = Ram's age
