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 yearsb)60 yearsc)84 yearsd)96 yearse)None of theseCorrect answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Question

Answer

Let gagan's age be 'x'.

anup's age = (x-6)/18

madan's age=5 therefore anup's age =3

btp,

(x-6)/18=3

so x=60

Answer

The correct option is B.
Let gagan's age be "x".
anup's age = (x-6)/18
madan's age=5 therefore anup's age =3
btp,
(x-6)/18=3
so x=60

Answer

Given:
- Gagan's age after subtracting 6 years and dividing by 18 gives Anup's age.
- Anup is 2 years younger than Madan, whose age is 5 years.

To find: Gagan's present age.

Let G be Gagan's present age, and A be Anup's present age.
From the given information, we can write two equations:
- (G - 6)/18 = A
- A + 2 = 5 (since Madan is 2 years older than Anup)

Simplifying the second equation, we get A = 3.
Substituting A = 3 in the first equation, we get:
(G - 6)/18 = 3
Multiplying both sides by 18, we get:
G - 6 = 54
Adding 6 to both sides, we get:
G = 60

Therefore, Gagan's present age is 60 years (option B).
