Answer 1

Given :

• Ram’s brother is 4 years elder to him.

• 8 years later, the sum of their ages will be 100 years .

To find :

• Present age of Ram =?

Step-by-step explanation :

Let, the Ram's age be, x.

Then, Ram's brother age be, x + 4.

8 years later age of Ram's = x + 8

8 years later age of Ram's brother, x + 4 + 8.

According to the question,

➮ (x + 8) + (x + 4 + 8) = 100

➮ x + 8 + x + 4 + 8 = 100

➮ 2x + 20 = 100

➮ 2x = 100 - 20

➮ 2x = 80

➮ x = 80/2

➮ x = 40.

Therefore, We got the value of, x = 40.

Hence,

The Ram's age, x = 40 years.

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

solution=here,

let us suppose the age of ram by 'x' and his brother by '4x'

now,

we know : sumof their age is 100 years

therefore, x+4x=100

                 5x= 100          {adding 4x and x:4x+x+5x}

                  x=100/5         {taking 5 to another side of '=' , it is n multiply it                    

                                          becomes divide}
