Explanation:
Answer:
Present age of Panav is 30 years and present age of Rama is 90 years.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let,
Present age of Panav = x
Present age of Rama = 3x
Ten years ago,
Age of Panav = x - 10
Age of Rama = 3x - 10
Also,
Rama's age was four times Panav's age.
So,
⇒ 4(x - 10) = 3x - 10
⇒ 4x - 40 = 3x - 10
⇒ 4x - 3x = - 10 + 40
⇒ x = 30
Present age of Panav = 30 years
___________________________
Present age of Rama = 3x
⇒ 3 (30)
⇒ 90
Present age of Rama = 90 years
Therefore, present age of Panav is 30 years and present age of Rama is 90 years.

- Let the present age of the son be x years. As the man is 4 times as old as his son, the present age of the man will be (4x) years. or, 4x − 2x = 32 − 16 [Transposing 16 to the R.H.S. and 2x to the L.H.S.]
