Question

Ram is three times as old as his sister Sudha. After three years, he will
be twice as old as Sudha. Find their present age.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's replace Ram with r and Sudha with s.

(r = 3s) + 3 = (r = 2s)

(r = 2x) = ( r = 3s - 3)

3s - 3 = 2x

3s - 1x = 2x

s = 3

If r = 3s and s = 3, then r = 3 x 3 = 9.

Ram is 9 years old and Sudha is 3 years old.

Answer 2

Answer:

age of ram = 9 years

and the age of sudha is 3 years

Step-by-step explanation:

let the present age of ram be x

and his sister sudha's present age be y

Ram is three times as old as his sister Sudha

so, x = 3y ----i)

After three years, he will be twice as old as Sudha.

so , x+3 =(y+3)2

=> x+3 = 2y+6 ----ii)

now putting the value of x in equation ii)

=> 3y+3 = 2y+6

=> 3y-2y = 6-3

=> y = 3 { the present age of sudha is 3 year}

now the age of ram = x = 3y

=> x = 3(3)

=> x = 9
