Ravi has spent a quarter (1/4) of his life as a boy, one-fifth (1/5) as a youth, one-third (1/3) as man and thirteen (13) years in old age. What is his present age?
Let present age = $$x$$ years
Life spent as a boy = $$\frac{x}{4}$$ years
Similarly, life spent as youth = $$\frac{x}{5}$$ years
According to ques,
=> $$\frac{x}{4}+\frac{x}{5}+\frac{x}{3}+13=x$$
=> $$\frac{15x+12x+20x}{60}+13=x$$
=> $$\frac{47x+780}{60}=x$$
=> $$47x+780=60x$$
=> $$60x-47x=780$$
=> $$x=\frac{780}{13}=60$$ years
=> Ans - (C)
