Ram is five years older than his youngest sibling Shreya. Shreya is two years younger than her brother Ritesh. Ritesh is 13 years old and is Ram’s brother. How old will ram be in two years from now?

Answer:

Explanation:

Let x be the youngest son’s years.

From the given information we can find their ages –

Shreya = x

Ram = x + 5

Ritesh = x + 2

According to the question, Ritesh is 13 years old and therefore :

x + 2 = 13

So, we can get the value of x.

x = 13 – 2

x = 11 years

Then the age of Ram will be

Ram = 11 + 5 

         = 16 years old.

Thus, within two years’ time, his age will be-

16 + 2 = 18 years
