Answer 1

A wizard named nepo says "i am only three times my son's age. My father is 40 years more than my age. Together the three of us are a mere 106 years old."

Answer 2

Given :

Let the age of his son's age be 'x'

Let the age of Nepo be '3x'

Let the age of his father be '3x+40'

Sum of total ages = 106 years

To find : The age of Nepo = ?

Solution :

According to question, we get :

$x+3x+3x+40=106\\\\7x+40=106\\\\7x=106-40\\\\7x=66\\\\x\approx 9$

Hence, the age of Nepo is 9 years.
