Question

the ratio of age ram and sam is 5:6.if the age of Sam be 42 years, find the age of ram​

Answer 1

As per the data given in the question,

We have to determine the age of Ram.

As per question,

The ratio of age ram and Sam is 5:6

The age of Sam be 42 years

So, let the age of Ram and Sam is $5x\:and\:6x$ respectively.

So, from above,

We can say that,

$6x = 42 \\=>x = \frac{42}{6} = 7\:years$

So, for determining the value of age of Ram we will put the above value of "x" in the age of Ram.

Thus, we will get the age of Ram as,

$=(5x) = (5\times 7) = 35\:years$

Hence, age of Ram will be 35 years.

Answer 2

Given: The ratio of age ram and sam is $5:6$and the age of Sam be $42$years.

We have to determine the age of Ram.

We are solving in the following way:

Let assume the age of Ram and Sam be$5x and 6x$ respectively.

From the above statement, we can write:

$\begin{array}{l}\Rightarrow 6 x=42 \\\\\Rightarrow x=\frac{42}{6}=7 \text { years }\end{array}$

By putting the value of '$x$' in the age of Ram, we will get the age of Ram.

So, the age of Ram will be:

$\Rightarrow(5 x)\\\Rightarrow(5 \times 7)\\\Rightarrow35 \text { years }$

Hence, the age of Ram will be $35years.$
