Answer 2

Answer:

Raman's present age is 60.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the question , the present age of Raman is four times the present age of Rahul. Five years ago, the ratio of Rahul’s age to Raman’s age was 2:11. We need to find out Raman’s present age.

Let Rahul's age is x and Raman;s age is 4x.

According to the question

$\frac{x-5}{4x-5}= \frac{2}{11}\\ \\or , 11x-55=8x-10\\\\or , 3x = 45\\\\or , x = 15.$

So Raman's present age is 60.
