Question

If 6 years are subtracted from the present age of Shyam and the remainder is divided by 18 , then the present age of his grand son Anup is obtained. If Anup is 2 years younger to Mahesh whose age is 5 years, then what is the age of Shyam?

• A. 48 yr
• B. 60 yr
• C. 84 yr
• D. 96 yr

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

60 yr

Answer 2

Present age of Mahesh = 5 years
Present age of Anup = 5−2 = 3 years
Let present age of Shyam = x
Then, present age of Anup = x − $\frac{6}{18}$
x − $\frac{6}{18}$ = 3
So, x − 6 = 3$\times$18 = 54
Therefore, x = 54+6
=60.
So the correct option is (B)
