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?

Options

A. 20
B. 30
C. 40
D. 10

Answer

A

Explanation

Suppose the age of Shyam = xyears
Age of Ram = 2x years
Age of Suresh = 4x years
According to question
`x+2x+4x=70`
`or, 7x=70`
`therefore x=(70)/(7)=10`
`therefore" Age of Ram"`
`=2x=2xx10="20 years"`
