Son's Ages (Solve & Win)
Two old MIT grads met at fairway on the upper West side, they haven't seen each other in over 20 years. Here's the chat between them : The first grad says to the second: “how have you been?” Second: “great! i got married and i have three children now” First: “really? how old are they?” Second: “well, the product of their ages is 72, and the sum of their ages is the same as the number on that building over there..” First: “right, ok.. oh wait.. hmm, i still don’t know” Second: “oh sorry, the oldest one just started to play the cricket” First: “wonderful! my oldest is the same age!” How old are the children ?

I don't know the answer. @Meher89, @EYERISH687, @Hiyamoni123, @Akash, @Jewel, @Imran, @aminul you all can try this.
They all are 24 years old. 24*3=72 24+24+24=72 that means 24,24, & 24 (they are thrice), and the other man's child is also 24
Nah @Taskia product of their ages is 72. According to your answer 24×24×24 which I think definitely not 72 😅 And another, they didn't met over 20 years, then the age 24 discards. Hint : x × y × z = 72 And one logic is hided in 6th line of conversation
We don't play cricket so we don't Kno when is the age a child could play
That's not an issue @Mirriam23 you can still find the answer
3 ,3 and 8 years I think..last children are twins.and oldest one 8 years who just started to play cricket..
Why not 2,6,6 ? Or 1,8,9 ? Or 1,6, 12 ? Or 3,4,6 or other 12 combinations 🤔
Other 12 combination not possible as you mention a time limit of 20 years..2,6,6 not possible as here written oldest 'one'.. the rest three are possible may be..
Yup, you're right in 2,6,6 combination but 3,4,6 does not cancels the limitation of 20 yrs
