Question

If 6 years are subtracted from the present age of Gagan and the remainder is divided by 18, then the present age of his grandson Anup is obtained. If Anup is 2 years younger to Madan whose age is 5 years, then what is Gagan's present age?

• A. 48 years
• B. 60 years
• C. 84 years
• D. 96 years
• E. 67 years

Answer 1

The correct option is B

60 years

Anup's age = (5 - 2) years = 3 years. Let Gagan's age be 'x' years.

Then, $\frac{x-6}{18}=3$

$\Rightarrow$ x - 6 = 54

$\Rightarrow$ x = 60 years
