Answer:
ram is 10 and Rahim is 35.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let their present ages be 2x and 7x.
In five years, their ages be 3x and 8x.
2x+5 = 3x
5=3x-2x
5=x
if x is 5,
2x = 2×5
= 10
7x= 7×5
=35.
Checking the answer:
If age of ram is 10,
in five years he will be 15.
if age of Rahim is 35,
in 5 years his age will be 40.
15/40 = 3/8 (simplification)
=3:8.
