    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:

    Ram is 20 years old now, Ram's father is 40 years old now.
