No it is correct.when you enter 60, recursion happens 4 times.and by the 5th recursion,the x value is 100 and if statement is not executed and then x-1 happens 5 times due to return statement.so answer is 95 is correct.

i have found why output is 95. i had to test various return(x - n) n eg 2,3,4.
