A mathematician is talking with a Scientist. The mathematician asks Scientist if he has children and he replies 3.
He then ask their age and the Scientist responds the product of their ages is 36.
The mathematician say "That is not enough information".
The Scientist then says the sum of their ages is today's date.
The mathematician says "that is not enough information"
The Scientist says "my youngest has blue eyes".
WHAT ARE THEIR AGES?
Solve this puzzle and leave the answer here.....
With the first 2 conditions we'll get many options
ReplyDeletei.e. ages will be,
1+1+36=38 (not valid coz date cannot be >31)
1+2+18=21
1+3+12=16
1+4+9=14
1+6+6=13
2+2+9=13
2+3+6=11
3+3+4=10
Now if the Date was one from 21, 16, 14, 11 or 10 then Scientist wud not have asked for last clue.i.e. Youngest daughter has blue eyes.
So option 1+6+6 is correct, coz yougest can be only one..
Just Chill :-)
