hi, in the information provided by the farmer, he hasn't mentioned that any of his daughters are twins, that gives a hint that the ages should differ from one another. hence, this was the possible...
Suresh,
i guess you have misinterpreted that sentence.. i will make it little easier for you.
"Pat is twice as old as Chris was" => Pat(now)= (24/2)= chris(some years before).. This sentence is...
Pat(now) = 24
24 = 2 * chris(some years before ) ' Pat is twice as old as Chris was
chris(some years before ) = 12
Chris(now) = 12 + x ' x years Later...
I guess, i solved the problem.. chris is 18 years old..
16 is the right answer..
When Pat was 16 Chris was 8..i.e., twice the age as chris.. and after 8 years now chris is 16 and Pat is 24..
the oldest daughter's age is 6
the second one's age is 4
and the third one's age is 3
6 * 4 * 3 = 72 and the sum of the same is 13 which is the house number.
