1. Answer:

   12 years

   Step-by-step explanation:

   Given, age of Ram and Sayam are in the ratio 5:6

   So, let age of

   Ram=5x & Sayam=6x

   And As given, after 4 years their ratios are 7:8

2. Answer:

   12 yrs

   Step-by-step explanation:

   let the age of ram and shyam be x

   so, ratios will be 5x/6x

   after 4 yrs their ages will be 5x+4/6x + 4=7/8

   8(5x+4)=7(6x+4)

   40x+32=42x+28

   40x-42x=28-32

   -2x=-4

   x=2

   present of shy am be 6x

   =6 (2)

   =12 yrs
