Answer 2

Answer:

Present ages of Ram and Raju are 23 yrs and 8 yrs respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the sum of the present ages of Ram and Raju is 31.

Let the present ages are

Ram present age=x yrs

Raju present age=y yrs

As sum of the present ages of ram and raju is 31

x+y=31  →   (1)

3 yrs ago the ages are

Ram age=(x-3) yrs

Raju age=(y-3) yrs

Also given 3 years ago Rams age was 4 times the age of Raju

⇒ (x-3)=4(y-3)

⇒ x-4y=-9  →   (2)

Solving equation (1) and (2), we get

(1) ⇒ x=31-y

Substitute the value of y in (2)

31-y-4y=-9

⇒ y=8  gives x=31-8=23

Hence, present ages of Ram and Raju are 23 and 8 respectively.
