Answer: 15 years

Explanation:

Given

Difference between
(3)/(5) Raman's present age and his age 4 years ago is 0

Suppose Raman's present age is
x

So, we can write


\Rightarrow (3x)/(5)-(x-4)=0\\\Rightarrow (3x-5x)/(5)+4=0\\\Rightarrow (-2x)/(5)+4=0\\\Rightarrow x=(20)/(2)=10

His age after 5 years is
x+5=15\ yr
