Assume
Son’s age to be X
So wizards age would be 3X
fathers age would be 40+6X according to question
X+3X+6X+40=1240
10X+40=1240
10X=1200
X=120
Therefore son’s age is 120
Nepo =3X
X =120
Therefore nepo’s age is 360years
Son’s age to be X
So wizards age would be 3X
fathers age would be 40+6X according to question
X+3X+6X+40=1240
10X+40=1240
10X=1200
X=120
Therefore son’s age is 120
Nepo =3X
X =120
Therefore nepo’s age is 360years

Answer:
Let Nepo son's age = X years .
Nepo age = 3x
Nepo's Father age = 2(3x) + 40 = 6x+40
A/q,
x+3x+6x+40 = 1240
10x = 1200
x = 120 = Nepo son age .
Nepo age = 120*3 = 360 years .
