$Present \, price \, of \, Ram's\, flat= Rs. 200000$

$Price \: after \: 2 \, years\, will \: be\: 56.25$% $of\: 200000 + 200000 = 3.125 lakh$

$Present \: price \: of\: shyam;s\: flat = Rs. 2.5 lakh$

$Price\: after \: 2 \: years\: will \: be\: 44$%$of\: 2.5 lakh + 2.5 lakh = 3.60 lakh$

$Difference\: between \: price = 3.6 lakh-3.125 lakh = Rs. 47500$

$hence\, Ram \: has\: to\: pay\: Rs. 47500\: to\: shyam.$
