Step-by-step explanation:
Let the age of Ram be 'x' years
Age of Ram's father = Thrice the age of Ram 3 years ago = 3(x - 2)
Age of Ram after 5 years = (x + 5) years
Age of Ram's father after 5 years = 3(x - 2) + 5
Given
Age of Ram's father after 5 years = 6 years more than twice the age of Ram after 5 years
⇒ 3(x - 2) + 5 = 2(x + 5) + 6
⇒ 3x - 6 + 5 = 2x + 10 + 6
⇒ 3x - 1 = 2x + 16
⇒ 3x - 2x = 16 + 1
⇒ x = 17
∵Therefore the present age of Ram is 17 years.
