Let, the age of suresh be 'x'.

Suresh is elder to Ramesh by 2 yrs.

Age of Ramesh = x - 2

Suresh's father is twice as old as suresh.

Age of Suresh's father = 2x

Ramesh is twice as old as his younger brother.

Age of his younger brother = (x - 2)/2

Difference of ages of Suresh's father and Ramesh's younger brother = 40 yrs.

2x - [(x - 2)/2] = 40

4x - x + 2 = 80

3x = 78

x = 26

Therefore, age of Suresh = 26 years.
