Answer 1

Answer:

Three years ago difference between both is 10 years and this difference would be same for every time period.

So at present day difference between both is 10

Let present age of Ram is x

and present age of shyam is y

ATQ

$\\ x - y = 10$

at present day Ram is twice of shyam

$\\ x = 2y$

From both eq.

$\\ \\ 2y - y = 10 \\ y = 10$

$\\ \\ x = 2 \times 10 \\ x = 10$

SO PRESENT AGE OF RAM IS 20 AND

SHYAM IS 10.
