Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

From above statement its clear ram is elder than shyam

Shyam =y

ram =x

X-y=16

x=16+y (i)

X-6=3(y-6) 6yrs ago

X-6=3y-18

16+y-6=3y-18

10+18=2y

28=2y

Y=14

X=30

Ram age 30

Answer 2

Answer:

If the difference between the present age of Ram and Shyam is 16 years and before 6 years the age of Ram was 3 times the age of Shyam, then Ram is 30 years in the present

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us take X and Y as Ram's and Shyam's age respectively

Given that

X - Y = 16

X = 16+Y

Before 6 years,

X-6 = ( Y-6)*3

X-6 = 3Y- 18

3Y-X= 18-6

3Y-X= 12

Given X= 16+Y

So,

3Y -X = 3Y -(16+Y) = 3Y -16-Y = 2Y -16

So, 2Y -16 = 12

2Y = 12+16

2Y = 28

Y = 28/2 = 14 years

So, Ram's present age = X = 16+Y = 16+14 = 30 years
