The type of irony demonstrated in this situation is situational irony.
This situation demonstrates situational irony. Situational irony occurs when the outcome of a situation is the opposite of what is expected or intended. In this case, Ram goes to great lengths to conceal his island heritage from Chan, but eventually discovers that Chan is also island born. This is ironic because Ram's efforts to hide his heritage were unnecessary, as Chan already shares the same background.
To determine the type of irony, you can analyze the situation and the outcome of the characters' actions. In this instance, Ram's attempt to conceal his heritage leads to an unexpected and ironic revelation, making it an example of situational irony.
