My answer is 126 years old (age of Ram).
equation:
let x = present age of Ram
y = present age of Rahim
when Ram has the present age of Rahim (y yrs. old), age of rahim is y/2 yrs. old. Since the differences of there age are the same for the 2 events, therefore...
x - y = y - y/2
x = 1.5y
but we are given, x + y = 210
Substituting the equation of x to that equation will give us...
1.5y + y = 210
y = 84
thus, x = 210 - 84
= 126 yrs. old -> age of Ram
