santosh  (6 years ago)

Let 10 yr ago, ages of Ram and Rahim were x yr and 3x yr, respectively.

Then, present age of Ram = (x + 10) and present age of Rahim = (3x + 10)

According to the question,

x+10+5/3x+10+5=2/3


3x + 45 = 6x + 30

3x = 15

x = 5

Hence, required ratio
5+10/3*5+10=15/25


= 3 : 5
