Given:

1) The age of Ram is double as that of Shyam and half as that of Suresh.

2) The sum of their age is 70.

Calculations:

Let the age of Shyam = x years

Age of Ram = 2x years

Age of Suresh = 4x years

According to the question,

⇒ x + 2x + 4x = 70

⇒ 7x = 70

⇒ x = 10

Age of Ram = 2x = 2 × 10 = 20 years

Hence, the correct answer is "20".
