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)
