    Ramana's age is 25 years

    Ramana's father age is 50 years

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let Ramana's age be y

    Therefore Ramana's father age will be 2y

    After six years, their ages are:

    Ramana's age = y + 6

    Ramana's father age = 2y + 6

    But after six years, the sum of their ages will be 87 i. e

    (y + 6) + (2y + 6) = 87

    y + 6 + 2y + 6 = 87

    3y + 12 = 87

    Collect like terms

    3y = 87 - 12

    3y = 75

    Divide both side by 75

    y = 75 / 3 = 25

    Therefore Ramana's age is 25years

    Ramana's father age = 2y = 2 x 25 = 50 years.
