Question

Ram's father is three times as old as Ram. If the sum of their age is 40 years. Find their ages? Answer: Ram= 10 and father = 30​

Answer 1

Explanation:

let's represent Ram's age by x

Since Ram's father is thrice the age of his Son, He will be 3x old.

Now we know from the question that adding their ages will give you 40

Writing this whole thing gives you

3x +x = 40

4x =40

To find x, you have to make it stand alone

Therefore divide both sides of your equation by 4 to get

x = 10

Now to find Ram's father's age, you multiply Ram's age by 3

3×10=30

Therefore Ram'sfather is 30 years old
