$\to$ Ram's present age = 36

$\large \underline{ \bold{ \underline{ \: Explanation : \: \: }}}$

Let ,

$\to$ Ram's present age = x

$\to$ Anil's present age = y

A.T.Q ,

Ram's age is 3 times of anil ,

$\to$ x = 3y ---------- eq (i)

After 12 years , ram's age will be double the age of anil ,

$\to$ x + 12 = 2 ( y + 12 )

$\to$ 3y + 12 = 2y + 24 { From eq (i) }

$\to$ y = 12

Put the value of y = 12 in eq (i)

$\to$ x = 12 × 3

$\to$ x = 36

Answer 2

Answer:

★ Ram's present age is 36 years ★

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

• Ram's age is 3 times of Anil's age
• After 12 years Ram's age will be double the age of Anil.

To Find:

• What is Ram's present age?

Solution: Let Anil's present age be x years

∴ Ram's present age will be 3x years.

★ After 12 years their ages will be ★

• Anil's age = (x + 12) years
• Ram's age = (3x + 12) years

A/q

$\small\implies{\sf }$ 3x + 12 = 2(x + 12)

$\small\implies{\sf }$ 3x + 12 = 2x + 24

$\small\implies{\sf }$ 3x – 2x = 24 – 12

$\small\implies{\sf }$ x = 12

Hence, Anil's age is x years = 12 years.

∴ Ram's age is 3x years = 3(12) = 36 years.
