Ram is (6) years older than Shyam. After (4) years, the sum of their ages will be (50). What is Ram's present age?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 24 years

Let Ram’s and Shyam’s present ages be \(r\) and \(s\) years, respectively. From the first condition, \(r-s=6\). After four years, their total age will be \((r+4)+(s+4)=50\), giving \(r+s=42\). Adding the two equations, \(2r=48\), so \(r=24\) years. Therefore, option B is correct. Exam tip: in age-sum problems, add the elapsed years to both people’s ages before forming the equation.
