Explanation

In this case, sentence 5 is the first sentence as it introduces the subject (Prof. Shankar). Sentence 1 further describes this subject. Note the relationship among 'an age', 'the age' and 'that age' in sentences 3, 4 and 2. These three sentences will come together after sentence 1 about his being misfit for the present times.
