Question

Ram's age is three times the age of his son krishna.if the sum of their ages is 56 years,find their ages

Answer 1

Let the age of Krishna be x

so age of Ram=3x

By the condition given in your question we get equation

x+3x=56

4x=56

x=56/4

x=14

so age of Ram is 42 years and the age of Krishna is 14 years

Answer 2

let the age of krishna be x 
∴ the age of ram will be 3 times that is 3x
now sum of their ages is 56 
x + 3x = 56 
4x = 56 
x = 14 
3x = 3 × 14 = 42 
∴ age of krishna is 14 & ram is 42
