Question
Ram is three times as old as his Sam.2 years ago he was five times as old as Sam.What is the present age of Ram
Solution
Let's denote Sam's current age as S and Ram's current age as R.
From the problem, we know two things:
-
Ram is three times as old as Sam. This can be written as: R = 3S.
-
Two years ago, Ram was five times as old as Sam. This can be written as: R - 2 = 5(S - 2).
Now we can solve these equations step by step:
Step 1: Substitute R from the first equation into the second equation. This gives us: 3S - 2 = 5S - 10.
Step 2: Rearrange the equation to find S. This gives us: 2S = 8, so S = 4.
Step 3: Substitute S = 4 into the first equation to find R. This gives us: R = 3 * 4 = 12.
So, Ram is 12 years old.
