Q. 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?
✅ Correct Answer: (C)
40
Explanation: Suppose the age of Shyam = P years
Age of Ram = 2 × the age of Shyam = 2P years
Age of Suresh = = 4 × the age of Shyam = 4P years
According to question
sum of their ages = 70
P + 2P + 4P = 70
⇒ 7P = 70
P = 10
Age of Ram = 2P = 2 × 10 = 20 years
Age of Ram = 2 × the age of Shyam = 2P years
Age of Suresh = = 4 × the age of Shyam = 4P years
According to question
sum of their ages = 70
P + 2P + 4P = 70
⇒ 7P = 70
P = 10
Age of Ram = 2P = 2 × 10 = 20 years
