Emma Slater, senior product manager at Access Education, said: "More students than ever are facing the challenge of resitting their GCSE exams - this trend underscores the increasing difficulty of today's GCSE exams.

"GCSE grades have not only been seen to influence a pupil’s higher education and which career path they may choose to take, but they can also have an effect on their overall social and emotional development, including their wellbeing."

The answers are as follows:

1. 25

2. 7

3. 56

4. 58

5. 11:10

Elsewhere, another maths question designed for a 10-year-old has left people stumped.

The difficult challenge was shared on a popular Reddit thread after one sibling was left stumped by his younger brother's homework.

Redditors were left confused by the equation and were quick to comment how they'd fail "5th-grade maths", with one joking: "I always think to myself; ‘Ugh. People should really be tested with basic skills before they’re allowed to go out into society’.

"And then I see this and realise I shouldn’t go out into society."
