Answer:
Shyam's present age is 32.
Step-by-step explanation:-
= Let us assume the present son's age as x.
= Then the present age of Shyam will be 4x.
= Five years ago, his son's age will be x - 5.
= Five years ago, Shyam's age will be 9(x-5).
= Now the given condition, Shyam's age five years ago should be same
= Four times his son's age five years ago = Shyam's present age - 5
= 9(x - 5) = 4x - 5
= 9x - 45 = 4x - 5
= (5x = 40)
= (x = 40/5)
= (x = 8)
So, Shyam's age = 4x = 4*8 = 32
Hope it helps have a gr8 day
