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.
