a mathematical puzzle?

dont know

4 3 3 or 9 2 2

With the first quastion, friend understood that the ages are factors of 36.

You could list all of them. But I am listing few.

2 2 9

2 3 6

1 6 6

3 3 4

etc

Obviously, he asked the second question because there are too many options. From second answer, he understood, adding these numbers in each option will give his room number. If you check against all options in the list, you will find each option has a unique sum except the following two

229 =>13

661=>13

So 13 was their room number. He knew there is a twin already. But he was not clear younger ones are twins or elder. That is why he had to ask the third question. Friend answered that his younger once are twins. So it is clear.

2 2 9 is answer.

the ages r 9 & 2,2

9*2*2=36

9+2+2=13

that was the memorable no of thier room.

9,2,2 is the best choice, but why not 3,3,4 or 2,3,6?

I'm assuming the younger two are twins - this is why the older one wants one.

Also this adds to 13 - a memorable number, which is why he remembers the room number.

(3,3,4 also works for twins, but they add to 10 which is not a memorable number).

two posibilites

1) first child is 9 year and other two are 2 year and 2 year (twins)

2) first child is 4 year and other two are 3 year and 3 year (twins)

im guessing 2, 3 and 6

3,3,4

Edit ( A few years = not 9,2,2) becuz he doesn't have children then so if a few years later he have 3.... y would it be few years later?

i still need information

Some necessary information is misssing........... Ha ha ha ha ha Kidding...... nice one

i need more information...

tahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahaha
