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?

Suppose the age of Shyam = P years Age of Ram = 2 × the age of Shyam = 2P years Age of Suresh = = 4 × the age of Shyam = 4P years According to question sum of their ages = 70 P + 2P + 4P = 70 ⇒ 7P = 70 P = 10 Age of Ram = 2P = 2 × 10 = 20 years
