Question

Ram says to Laxman—“My present age is 5 times of your age of the
time, when I was as old as you are now.” The sum of their ages is 48
Find their present age.​

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 5(2y-x)

5y = 3x

x+y= 48

x= 30 and y = 18

Answer 2

let the present age of Laxman be x and Ram y

y = 5x

y - 5x = 0 (I)

y + x = 48 (II)

adding both the equation

-6x = -48

x = 8

y = 40

present age of ram is 40 and Laxman is 8
