Question

Ram's age is 2/3 of shyam's age.After 5 years sum of their ages will be 40 years .find ram's age​

Answer 1

Here we go :

5 years ago Ram:Shyam = 3:1

10 years later Ram:Shyam = 2:1 or 4:2

The time gap between the two ratios is 15 years.

• Look at the difference between numerator and denominator in both ratios. It is 3 – 1 & 4 - 2 = 2 in both cases.

• Now look at the difference between numerators or denominators of both ratios. It is 4–3=1 or 2–1=1 in both cases.

=> If the gap between the two ratios ( point 2 above ) is 1, what will be the ratios if gap is 15 ?

Ram:Shyam 5 years ago = 3x15:1x15 = 45:15

Ram:Shyam 10 year hence = 4x15:2x15=60:30

Present ages Ram:Shyam = 50:20

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Mohan's age be x years. Then,

Shyam's age =2x years

Ram's age =(2x+2) years

Therefore,

2x+2+2x+x=27

5x=25

x=5

Hence, Shyam's age = 2x=10 years.
