The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, let's denote Gagan's present age as \( G \) and Anoop's present age as \( A \). ### Step 1: Understand the relationship between Gagan's age and Anoop's age. According to the problem, if 6 years are subtracted from Gagan's age and the result is divided by 18, we get Anoop's age. This can be expressed mathematically as: \[ \frac{G - 6}{18} = A \] ### Step 2: Determine Anoop's age using Madan's age. We know that Anoop is 2 years younger than Madan, and Madan's age is given as 5 years. Therefore, we can calculate Anoop's age: \[ A = 5 - 2 = 3 \] ### Step 3: Substitute Anoop's age into the equation from Step 1. Now that we have Anoop's age, we can substitute \( A = 3 \) into the equation: \[ \frac{G - 6}{18} = 3 \] ### Step 4: Solve for Gagan's age. To find Gagan's age \( G \), we first multiply both sides of the equation by 18: \[ G - 6 = 3 \times 18 \] \[ G - 6 = 54 \] Now, add 6 to both sides: \[ G = 54 + 6 \] \[ G = 60 \] ### Conclusion: Gagan's present age is \( 60 \) years. ---
