The sum of the ages of Ram and Shyam is 49. The difference between the age of Shyam and twice the age of Ram is 8.
What is the age (in years) of Ram?
Let Ram's age = $$x$$ years
=> Shyam's age = $$(49-x)$$ years
According to ques, => $$2x-(49-x)=8$$
=> $$2x+x=8+49$$
=> $$3x=57$$
=> $$x=\frac{57}{3}=19$$
Thus, Ram's age is 19 years.
