Let Ram's current age be x. Then Ram's mother's current age will be 6x.
Five years from now, their ages will be
x+5 = (6x+5) * 2/7
7*(x+5) = 2*(6x+5)
7x+35 = 12x+10
Or 12x-7x = 35-10
Or 5x = 25.
Thus, x = 25/5 = 5.
Therefore Ram's current age is 5 and Ram's mother's current age is 6 x 5 = 30.
Five years from now, their ages will be
x+5 = (6x+5) * 2/7
7*(x+5) = 2*(6x+5)
7x+35 = 12x+10
Or 12x-7x = 35-10
Or 5x = 25.
Thus, x = 25/5 = 5.
Therefore Ram's current age is 5 and Ram's mother's current age is 6 x 5 = 30.
