Correct answer is: 49 years Explanation: Let Ram's present age be 6x years and that of Rakesh be 11x years. Four years ago, $\frac{6x-4}{11x-4}=\frac{1}{2}$ $⟹12x-8=11x-4$ $⟹x=8-4=4$ Therefore, Rakesh's age after five years = 11x + 5 $=11\times 4+5=49\text{ years}$ Nithin ? answered undefined All Comments
