Answer:

let Ram's age be x and Deepika's age be x-3

Step-by-step explanation:

ATQ

x-6 = 4{ ( x - 3 ) - 6}

x-6 = 4 ( x - 9 )

x - 6 = 4x - 36

x - 4x = 6- 36

- 3x = - 30

x = 10

Ram's age is 10 years

Deepika's age is 13 years

Answer 2

Given:-

• Ram is three years older than deepika.
• Six years ago, Ram's age was four times deepika age.

⠀

To find:-

• The ages of Deepika and Ram.

⠀

Solution:-

• Let the Deepika's age be x.

⠀

• Ram's age = x + 3

⠀

Six years ago:-

• Deepika's age = x - 6
• Ram's age = x + 3 - 6 = x - 3

⠀

$\large{\tt{\longrightarrow{x - 3 = 4(x - 6)}}}$

⠀

$\large{\tt{\longrightarrow{x - 3 = 4x - 24}}}$

⠀

$\large{\tt{\longrightarrow{3x = 21}}}$

⠀

$\large{\tt{\longrightarrow{x = \dfrac{21}{3}}}}$

⠀

$\boxed{\large{\tt{\longrightarrow{\red{x = 7}}}}}$

⠀

Hence,

• Deepika's age = 7 years
• Ram's age = 7 + 3 = 10 years
