The correct answer is

32

The question asks the approximate age at which the mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan died on 26 April 1920.

Srinivasa Ramanujan was born on 22 December 1887 in Erode, Tamil Nadu, and is regarded as one of the greatest mathematical geniuses of the modern era.

He passed away on 26 April 1920 due to illness, at a very young age.

Calculating from his birth in December 1887 to his death in April 1920 gives an age of about 32 years.

Despite his short life, he made extraordinary contributions to number theory, infinite series, continued fractions and mathematical analysis.

His birth anniversary, 22 December, is celebrated in India as National Mathematics Day.

The other options (21, 47 and 58) do not match his birth and death dates, so they are incorrect.

Srinivasa Ramanujan died on 26 April 1920 at about the age of 32.
