Answer:

I think, the age of the grandfather is 60 years and the age of the boy is 5 years.

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the age of son be x

Since , there are 12 months in a year . And sons age is in months , we need both the quantities to be in same unit ie. Months .

So , let grandfather age be 12x

According to the question :

Difference between there ages is 55 .

Which means :

12x - x = 55

11x = 55

$x = \frac{55}{11} \\\\\mathsf{x=5}\\\\\bold{ \ son's age = 5 }\\\\\\\mathsf{ \ Grand\ Father\ Age = 5 \times 12 = 60 }\\\\\bold{ \ Grand Father Age = 60}$
