Correct answer: 16 yr Explanation: 4 yr ago, let Ram's age = x yr and Shyam's age = $\frac{3}{4}x$ yr   Now, Ram's present age = (x + 4) yr and Shyam's present age = ($\frac{3}{4}x$+4) yr According to the question, $\large\frac{5}{6}(x + 4 + 4) = \left(\frac{3}{4}x + 4 + 4\right)$ 4 (5x + 40) = 6(3x + 32) 20x + 160 = 18x + 192 2x = 32 x = 16 Hence, present age of Shyam $= \large\frac{3}{4}\times 16 + 4$ $=16 \text{ yr}$ Nithin ? answered Aug 14 '2022 at 21:12 All Comments
