10 years​

Answer 1

Answer:

12 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Given, age of Ram and Sayam are in the ratio 5:6

So, let age of

Ram=5x & Sayam=6x

And As given, after 4 years their ratios are 7:8

So,

(5x+4)/(6x+4) = 7/8

By solving x=2

So, Age of Sayam = 6*2

=12 years

Answer 2

Answer:

12 yrs

Step-by-step explanation:

let the age of ram and shyam be x

so, ratios will be 5x/6x

after 4 yrs their ages will be 5x+4/6x + 4=7/8

8(5x+4)=7(6x+4)

40x+32=42x+28

40x-42x=28-32

-2x=-4

x=2

present of shy am be 6x

=6 (2)

=12 yrs
