When you write in your post " . . . as ok lder as her son . . . ",

who is "she" in this fragment ?

Hey, if you do not possess English, why you write to this forum ?


Each and every your post is GIBBERISH . . .


One more such non-sensical post, and I will write to the managers of this project asking them

to replace you, since you are not able to write correctly (!)

As written, wife and son are described in terms of the father. The description might be better written as this:

----
----
In a family, a father is four years older than his wife and twice as old as his son. The sum of all their ages is 120. Calculate the age of each person.
----
----
Father      y
Wife       y-4
Son        y/2
SUM        120

y, father's age results here in a non-whole number. Recheck your original problem description.
