Question

The sum of the ages of Ram and his father at present is 7/6 of what it was 5 years ago. Find the sum of their present ages.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

At present :

let age of ram be x

and age of father be y

sum of ages =x+y

Five years ago:

age of ram = x-5

age of father = y-5

sum of ages = x-5+y-5

= x+ y-10

Now, According to question

x+y=7/6(x+y-10)

=>6x+6y=7x+7y-70

=>x+y=70

hence sum of present ages of ram and father is 70
