let the weight of jayram is x.
so weight of ramesh = 3x - 10 kg.
from question,
x + 3x - 10 kg =70 kg
4x =70 kg + 10 kg
4x =80kg
x =80 kg/4
x =20 kg =weight of jayram
weight of ramesh = 3*20 kg - 10 kg
= 60 kg - 10 kg
=50 kg.
so weight of ramesh = 3x - 10 kg.
from question,
x + 3x - 10 kg =70 kg
4x =70 kg + 10 kg
4x =80kg
x =80 kg/4
x =20 kg =weight of jayram
weight of ramesh = 3*20 kg - 10 kg
= 60 kg - 10 kg
=50 kg.
