Question

the ages of Ram and Shyam differs by 20 years if 5 years ago was 5 times as old as Sam their present ages are

Answer 1

Hi friend!

First of all, the question needs some corrections as it is incomplete. I should be:
$The ages of Ram and Shyam differ by 20 years<i>.</i> If 5 years ago <i>Ram</i> was 5 times as old as Shyam <i>was</i>, find their present ages.$

$<big><b><u>Answer:</u></b></big> <b>The present ages of -</b> Ram = x Shyam = x - 20 <b>Five years ago,</b> Ram = x - 5 Shyam = x - 20 - 5 = x - 25$

Ram was 5 times of Shyam.
$x - 5 = 5(x - 25) \\ \\ x - 5 = 5x - 125 \\ - 5 + 125 = 5x - x \\ 120 = 4x \\ x = \frac{120}{4} \\ x = 30$

Now, finding their present ages:

Ram = (x) years old = 30 years old
Shyam = (x - 20) years old = (30 - 20) years old = 10 years old

Therefore, the ages of
Ram = 30
Shyam = 10

Hope you found my answer helpful. Keep Smiling!

Answer 2

Answer:

10 years, 30 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Shyam's age be x years

Then Ram's age will be = (x +20) years

Their ages 5 years ago shall be

Shyam's age = (x-5) years

Ram's age = (x+20-5) = (x +15) years

5 years ago Ram's age was 5 times that of Shyam's

Therefore,

(x+15) = 5(x-5)

Solving, we get

x+15 = 5x -25

4x = 40

∴x = 10

Shyam's present age = 10 years

Ram's present age = 30 years
