Question

ram is twice old as ramu, but 6 years ago he was 5 times old as ramu, present age of ram?​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

let x be the age of ram and y be the age of ramu

according to the question,

x = 2y --(i)

but 6 years ago,

x - 6 = 5(y - 6)

x - 6 = 5y - 30

x - 5y = -24 ---(ii)

put the value of 'x' in equation (ii)

2y - 5y = -24

-3y = -24

y = 8

put the value of 'y' in equation (i)

x = 16

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider,

Ramu's present age=x

Ram's present age= 2x

6 years ago-

Ramu's age = x-6

Ram's age = 2x-6

According to condition

2x-6 = 5(x-6)

2x-6 = 5x-30

2x-5x = -30+6

-3x= -24

3x=24

x= 24/3

x=8

Ramu's present age= 8 years

Ram's present age= 2x

2(8)

16 years

Ram's present age= 16 years

Therefore, present age of Ram is 16 years.
