Question

The ages of ram and shyam are in the ratio 5:7 four years later the sum of their ages will be 56 years what are their present ages​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the age of ram and Shyam be 5x and 7x.

4 years later...

ram age and Shyam age will be 5x+4,7x+4.

Their sum is equal to 56

So...

5x+4+7x+4 = 56

12x+8 = 56

12x = 56-8

x = 48/12

x = 4

Therefore ram and Shyam present age is

Ram = 5x = 5×4 = 20.

Shyam = 7x = 7×4 = 28.
