Answer 2

Answer:

45 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's assume the age of Raman is 'x' years. and his 2 boys' ages are 'a' & 'b' respectively.

Given, x = 3(a+b)

or, (a+b) = x/3 ......(i)

After 5 years, Raman's age will be (x+5) and his boys' ages will be (a+5) & (b+5) respectively.

Given, (x+5) = 2[(a+5) + (b+5)]

or, (x+5) = 2(a+b) + 20

or, (x+5) = 2(x/3) + 20 [putting the value of (a+b) we got from equation (i)]

or, x - 2x/3 = 20-5

or, x/3 = 15

or, x = 45

Thus, Raman's age is 45 years.
