x   -  Ram's age now

Ram is half his father's age now, so his father's age is two times Ram's age:

2x  - Ram's father age now

x - 10   -  Ram's age ten years ago

2x - 10    - Ram's father age ten years ago

ten years ago he was one third his father's age so his father's age was three times Ram's age:

2x - 10 = 3•(x - 10)

2x - 10 = 3x - 30

-10 + 30 = 3x - 2x

20 = x

2x = 2•20 = 40

Answer:

Ram is 20 years old now, Ram's father is 40 years old now.
