x   -  Ram's age now

Ram is half his father's age now, so his father's age is two times Ram's age:

2x  - Ram's father age now

x - 10   -  Ram's age ten years ago

2x - 10    - Ram's father age ten years ago

ten years ago he was one third his father's age so his father's age was three times Ram's age:

2x - 10 = 3•(x - 10)

2x - 10 = 3x - 30

-10 + 30 = 3x - 2x

20 = x

2x = 2•20 = 40

Answer:

<u>Ram is 20 years old now, Ram's father is 40 years old now.</u>

Is this true in maths if a ate many sugar will a get diabites ? remider math question
lana66690 [7]
In math (or English, for that matter), a question is never true or false. Only a statement can have such attributes.

If you make the statement "if A ate many sugar, A will get diabetes," in math it cannot be decided wheter it is true or false without additional information about the truth values of the statements "A ate many sugar" and "A will get diabetes".
