Answer is 58 years.
This is how you can solve it:
- She had first child when she was 19 years old.
- Every child has age difference of 4 years. and she has 6 children.
- After first kid she had 5 more kids so (Peter -> 2nd Kid -> 3rd Kid -> 4th Kid -> 5th Kid -> 6th Kid(Jane))
- So Peter and jane has age difference of 20 years.
- Jane is 19 years old which means Peter is 39 years old.
- When Peter was born Granny was 19 years old so Granny’s age is (39 + 19 =58 years)
