  2. Answer:

    • The present age of Ram is 2.5 years. and
    • The present age of Shyam is 1.5 years.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Given that:

    • The present ages of Ram and Shyam are in the ratio of 5:3,
    • Three yearslater, the ratio of their ages will become 11:9

    To find:

    • Ram and Shyam’spresent age in years?

    Solution:

    Let the present age of Ram be 5x

    Let the present age of Shyam be x

    three years later

    Age of Ram became = 5x+3

    Age of Shyam became = 3x+3

    [tex] = > \frac{5x + 3}{3x + 3} = \frac{11}{9} \\ = > 45x + 27 = 33x + 33 \\ = > 45x – 33x = 33 – 27 \\ = > 12x = 6 \\ = > x = \frac{6}{12} \\ = >x = \frac{1}{2} \\ [/tex]

    Now

    The present age of Ram = 5x => 5×½ => 2.5 years.

    The present age of Shyam => 3x => 3×½ => 1.5 years.
