Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 3 years ago

Raju age=x years

Ram age=4 x years

Now in Present

Raju age=(x+3) years

Ram age=(4x+3) years

Sum Present age=31

A/Q

(x+3)+(4x+3)=31

x+3+4x+3=31

5x+6=31

5x=31-6

5x=25

x=25/5

x=5

Raju Present age =x+3=5+3=8 years

Ram present age=4x+3=5×4+3=23 years

\boxed{\mathbf{Raju=8\:years}}Raju=8years

\boxed{\mathbf{Ram=23\:years}}Ram=23years
