★ Let present age of Ramu's father be 2x years

.°. Present age of Ramu's is ( 2x/2 )

I.e., x years

20 years ago

Father's age = ( 2x - 20 ) years

Ramu's age = ( x - 20 ) years

A.T.Q

2x - 20 = 6 ( x - 20 )

☞ 2x - 20 = 6x - 120

☞ 6x + 2x = 120 - 20

☞ 4x = 100

☞ x = 100/4

☞ x = 25

Hence

• Present age of Ramu = $\red{25\:years}$
• Present age of Ramu's father = $\red{50\:years}$
