There is only one two-digit even positive integer number less than 90 with the sum of digits 15.
This number is 78.
The proof is OBVIOUS.
The last digit must be even, and there is only one working possibility for it, which is "8".
Hence, the tens digit is 15-8 = 7.
So the grandfather's age is 78 years.

Probably, the question's accurate form should be
how old is jack's and kylie's grandfather? (meaning one grandfather to two grandchild)
the digits of his age add to 15, his age is an even number, he is younger than 90.
