the present age of ramana's father is twice that of Ramana after 6 years the sum of their ages would be 87 years find their present ages​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

ramana's father is twice=2x

Ramana after 6 years=2x+6

would be 87 years

=2x+6=87

2x=87-6=81

x=81/2

8.5

8years 5months

Answer 2

Given,

The present age of Ramana's father is twice that of Ramana.

Let us take, Ramana's age as 'x'.

and the age of Ramana's father = 2x

After 6 years,

Age of Ramana = x+6

Age of Ramana's father = 2x+6

As it is given that after 6 years the sum their ages will be 87 year. So..

x+6+2x+6 = 87

3x+12 = 87

3x = 87-12

3x = 75

x = 75/3

x = 25

Therefore the age of Ramana is = x = 25 years.

And the age of Ramana's father is = 2x = 2×25 = 50years.
