let R be the age of Ram and G be the age of his Grandpa in year 2 0 0 2
R = 2 1 G ( 1 )
The sum of their ages at the end of year 2 0 0 2 is 2 ( 2 0 0 2 ) − 3 8 5 4 = 1 5 0 . So
R + G = 1 5 0 ( 2 )
Substituting ( 1 ) in ( 2 ) , we get
G = 1 0 0
Now, solving for R , we have
R = 5 0
Finally, 1 year after 2 0 0 2 ,
R + 1 = 5 1
