Question

Ram is half of his fathers age. 20years ago the age of father was 6 times age of ram. Find the age of ram and his father

Answer 1

Let ram’s father’s present age be = y

Let ram’s present age be = x

Given,

y/2=x

y=2x ........ eq 1

20 years ago,

Ram’s father’s age = y-20

Ram’s age = x-20

Given,

y-20=6(x-20)

Substituting eq 1

2x-20=6x-120

120-20=6x-2x

100=4x

x=100/4

x=25

Therefore,

Ram’s present age = x = 25 years

Ram’s father’s present age = y = 2x = 2*25 = 50 years
