Question

Subodh has spent a quarter of his life in a village, one-fifth in a city as a student, one-third as an employee in an institution and thirteen years in a foreign country. What is his present age?
1. 60 years
2. 65 years
3. 67 years
4. 75 years

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 1 : 60 years

Let Subodh's age be "x"

According to the question

x = (x/4) + (x/5) + (x/3) + 13

 x = (47/60)x + 13

x - (47/60)x = 13

13x/60 = 13

x = 60

∴ Subodh's present age is 60 years
