Question

the present age of RAM is 12 years and that of Shyam is 24 years how many years ago Ram's age was 1/3 rd of Shyam ?​

Answer 1

Answer:

6 years ago

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the no. of years be x

12 - x = 1/3 (24 - x)

12 - x = 8 -x/3

12 - 8 = -x/3 + x

4 = -x/3 + x

-x/3 + x = 4

-x/3 + 3x/3 = 4

2x/3 = 4

2x = 12

x = 6
