We have assumed Ram's age as x years.

so, father's age will be 3x years

Now, according to question,

3x+x = 56

we get x=14

the father's age will be 3(14) = 42 years.

Answer 2

Answer:

$\purple{ \boxed{ \boxed{42 \: years}}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\green{ \mathfrak{ \large{Given}}}$

• Ram's father is three times as old as Ram.
• The sum of their ages is 56 years.

$\underline{ \underline{ \mathfrak{To \: find}}}$

• The age of the father.

$\purple{ \mathfrak{ \underbrace{ \large{ Solution}}}}$

Let Ram's age be x

Hence, Ram's father's age is 3x

According to the question,

$3x + x = 56 \\ 4x = 56 \\ x = \frac{56}{4} \\ x = 14$

Hence, Ram's age is 14.

Now, let's find the father's age,

$3x = 3 \times 14 = 42$

Hence,the age of father is 42✅
