Question

the sum of the present ages of Ram and Shyam is 40 years.Five years ago Ram's age was double the Shyam's age .Find their present ages​

Answer 1

Answer:

10 yrs is the answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the present age of Shyam be x

⇒ Ram's present age = 40 − x

5 years ago, their ages were

x−5,40−x−5 = 35−x

Given that

35 − x = 2 (x−5)

35−x=2x−10

35+10=2x+x

45=3x

x = $\frac{45}{3}$

x = 15

Ram's present age = 40 − x = 40 − 15 = 25

∴ Difference between their present ages =25−15=10
