Answer:
- Present age of Ram is 15 years
- Present age of Shyam is 20 years.
Step-by-step explanation:
Solution:-
Let the ratio of their age be 3x & 4x
According to the Given Condition
Five years ago the ratio of their age 2:3
Therefore,
→ Ram's age = 3x -5 ------(I)
→ Shyam's age = 4x - 5 -----(ii)
Now , Multiplying by 3 in Equation (I) & by 2 in (ii) we get
→ (3x-5)× 3 = (4x-5) × 2
→ 9x - 15 = 8x -10
→ 9x -8x = -10 +15
→ x = 5
Therefore,
Present age of Ram = 3x = 3×5 = 15 years
Present age of Shyam = 4x = 4×5= 20 years
