Question

RAM is twice as old as Rahim in 12 years time their combined ages will be six times rahim's age rahim's present age what are their present ages

Answer 1

Answer:

Age of Ram = 16 years

Age of Rahim = 8 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the present age of Rahim be x years

∴ Present age of Ram = 2x

After 12 years age of Rahim = x + 12

After 12 years age of Ram = 2x + 12

Combined age of Ram and Rahim after 12 years

= (x + 12) + (2x + 12)

= 3x + 24

According to the question

3x + 24 = 6x

or, 6x - 3x = 24

or, 3x = 24

or, x = 8

Thus,

Present age of Rahim = 8 years

Present age of Ram = 8 × 2 = 16 years
