c) 16 years

Let the Ram's age 4 years ago was x years, then Shyam's age 4 year ago=3x/4 years
Present age of Ram= x+4 and Shyam= (3x/4)+4
After 4 more years Ram's age= x+8 and Shyam's age=(3x/4)+8 where Shyam’s age will be 5/6 of Ram's age => (x+8)*5/6= (3x/4)+8
=> (5x+40)/6 = (3x+32)/4
=> 9x+96 = 10x+80
=> x= 16
So present age of Shyam=(3x/4)+4= (3*16/4)+4= 16 years

(3/4)x=x =>4 years ago
(3/4)x+8=5/6(x+8) =>4 years hence
x=16(ram's age 4 years ago)
(3/4)*16=12,12+4(present age of shayam)
