Question

the ages of Ram and Shyam.
​

Answer 1

Answer:

ram's age = 12 years

shyam's age = 20 years

Step-by-step explanation:

let age of ram be r

let age shyam be s

r / s = 3 / 5

r  = s * ( 3 / 5 )

s = r + 8

s = s * ( 3 / 5 ) + 8

therefore, 5s = 3s + 40

thus, 2s = 40

s = 20

therefore, r = 12
