Question

The present ages of Ram and shyam is in ratio 5:4. If sum of their ages is 81. what will be age of Ram 5 years ago.
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let their present ages be 5x and 4x respectively

So, 5x+4x=81

     9x=81

      x=81/9

       x= 9

Their present ages are (9 x 5)= 45 and (9 x 4)=36

Ram's age 5 years ago was (45-5)=40 years
