If 6 years are subtracted from the present age of Anuj and the remainder is divided by 18, then the present age of his grandson Gopal is obtained. If Gopal is 2 years younger to Mohan whose age is 5 years, then what is the age of Anuj?

A 44

B 60

C 80

D 92

Solution

Correct Answer: Option B

Let Anuj’s age be X
Gopal is 2 years younger than Mohan, so Gopal is 3 years (i.e 5 – 2 = 3)
If Arun had born 6 years before, his age would have been X – 6. As per the question, X – 6 should be 18 times as that of Gokul’s age.
i.e. (X – 6) /18= 3
X-6 =3 x 18
x = 60
