Answer:

Explanation:

Let Ram’s present age be x years

Ram’s mother present age is 4x years

Age of Ram after 5 years = (x + 5) years

Age of Ram’s mother after 5 years = (4x + 5) years

Given (4x + 5) = 3(x + 5)

4x + 5 = 3x + 15

4x – 3x = 15 – 5

x= 10

4x = 4(10) = 40

Thus, Ram’s present age is 10 years and Ram’s mother present age is 40 years.

hope it helps

Answer:

Ram present age would be 10

Ram's mother present age would be 30

Explanation:

Let called:

Ram present age = x

Ram's mother present age = y

Therefore, Ram's mother age would be:

y = x * 3

5 years later:

y + 5 = x + 20 + 5

y + 5 = x + 25

Becasue y = 3x

3x + 5 = x + 25

3x - x = 25 - 5

2x = 20

x = 10

Ram present age would be 10

Ram's mother present age would be 30

Hope this help you :3
