Answer:

$\boxed{\sf The\:present\:age\:of\:Mohan\:is\:28\:years.}$

$\boxed{\sf The\:present\:age\:of\:Shyam\:is\:32\:years.}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the present ages of Mohan and Shyam be x

Ratio given : $\boxed{\sf \frac{7}{8}}$

Let the present age of Mohan be 7x and Shyam be 8x

$\leadsto\sf\red{Equation:-}$

→ 7x + 8x = 60

= 15x = 60

= x = 60/15

= x = 4

$\large\leadsto\sf\purple{Putting\:the\:values:-}$

• Mohan = 7x = 7(4) = 28 years
• Shyam = 8x = 8(4) = 32 years
