Question 179
The age of Ram is double as that of Shyam and half as that of Suresh. If the sum of their ages is 70, what is the age of Ram ?
Solution
Let Shyam's age = $$x$$ years
=> Ram's age = $$2x$$ years
and Suresh's age = $$4x$$ years
Thus, sum of ages = $$x+2x+4x=70$$
=> $$7x=70$$
=> $$x=\frac{70}{7}=10$$ years
$$\therefore$$ Ram's age = $$2\times10=20$$ years
=> Ans - (A)
