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.

C.

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
