Explanation

Ram's present age = 27 + 10 = 37 years. Wife's present age = 23 + 10 = 33 years. After 6 years of marriage (4 years ago): Ram was 33, wife was 29. Their average with son was 21, so (33 + 29 + son's age then)/3 = 21. Son's age then = 63 - 62 = 1 year. Son's present age = 1 + 4 = 5 years.
