      years. Four years from now, the age ratio of Ram to Shyam will be 3:5. Determine the age difference between Ram and Shyam.

      B 9 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 12 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 18 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      4 years hence from now, let the ages of Ram and Shyam be '3y' years and '5y' years, respectively So, present ages of Ram and Shyam is (3y - 4) years and (5y - 4) years, respectively We have, (3y - 4) + (5y - 4) = 56 So, 8y = 56 + 8 = 64 So, y = 64 ÷ 8 = 8 So, difference between ages of Ram and Shyam = 5y - 3y = 2y = 2 X 8 = 16 years
