Ramu was 4 times as old as his son 8 years ago. After 8 years, Ramu will be twice as old
as his son. What their present ages ?

36 years

66 years

40 Years

50 Years

Explanation:

Let sons age 8 years ago be x years
Then Ramus age at that time = 4x years
Sons age after 8 years = (x +8) + 8 = (x + 16) years
Ramus age after 8 years = (4x + 8) + 8 = (4x + 16) years
2(x + 16) = 4x + 16 or x=8
Sons present age = (x + 8) = 16 years
Ramus present age= (4x + 8) = 40 years
