A Correct answer
Explanation

Let ages be 7x and 5x. After 6 years, 7x + 6 = 48, so 7x = 42, x = 6. Lamba's present age = 5x = 5 * 6 = 30.

AI explanation

Let the present ages of Raman and Lamba be 7x and 5x, respectively. After 6 years, Raman's age will be 7x + 6, which equals 48. Solving 7x + 6 = 48 gives 7x = 42, so x equals 6. Substituting this value into Lamba's ratio gives a present age of 5 multiplied by 6, which is 30 years.
