    Question

    If 4 years are subtracted from the age of a person and divided by 5, the result gives his grandson's age. The grandson now has a sister aged 5, six years younger to him. How old is the grandfather?

    A.

    60

    B.

    59

    C.

    58

    D.

    57

    Correct option is B

    Given:
    Grandson's sister is 6 years younger than grandson and is 5 years old.
    Concept Used:
    From the relationship between the grandson's and sister's ages, we can find the grandson's age. Then, using the equation for the grandfather's age, we solve for x.
    Solution:
    Let the grandfather age be x years.
    Grandson’s age = 5 + 6 = 11 years
    Now, for Grandfather's age:
    x45=11x4=55x=55+4=59\frac{x - 4}{5} = 11 \\x − 4 = 55 \\x = 55 + 4 = 59​​
    Thus, The grandfather is 59 years old
