Question 757493
2. The sum of the ages of Ramu and his father is 75 years. If the father is twice as old as Ramu, find their ages ?

Let the age of Ramu be x

Let the age of his father be 2x

Therefore:

x + 2x = 75

3x = 75

Divide each side by 3

x = 25

2x = 50


Answer:

Ramu is 25 years old and his father is 50 years old.
