Question

sum of present ages of ram and sham 26 years ram's age 3 years ago was 4 times the age of sham find their present ages​

Answer 1

Answer:

ram's age is 19 years and sham's age is 7 years respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

given,

sum of present ages of Ram and Sham is 26 years,

let ram's present age be x ,

and sham's present age be y.

therefore,

x+y =26-----> eqn1,

also given that,

3 years ago,

ram's age was 4 times the age of sham,

therefore,

(x-3) = 4(y-3)-------> eqn2,

solving eqn 1 & eqn 2,

(26-y-3) = 4(y-3),

=> 23-y = 4y-12,

=> 5y = 35,

=> y = 7,

nd x= 19.
