Question

lf 10 years are subtracted from the present age of Ram and the remainderdivided by 14, then you would get the preset age of his grandson Shyam. If Shyam is 9 years younger to Sunder whose age is 14, then whatis the present age of Ram?

• A. 80 years
• B. 70 years
• C. 60 years
• D. None of these

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Given that Sunder's age = 14 years

Shyam's age = 14 - 9 = 5 years

Assume the present age of Ram be \(x\ years\)

From the question,

\(\frac{x - 10}{14} = 5\)

= \(x - 10 = 70\)

= \(x = 70 + 10 = 80\ years\)

Ram's present age = \(80\ years\)

The correct option is (A): 80 years
