. Mom's age is 5 times daughters
m = 5d
:
and daughters age is 2 times brothers
d = 2b
:
and brothers age is 1/4 times mother.
b = m
or
m = 4b
:
No sense here, According to the 1st two statements, mom is 10 times the brother
However the last statement says Mom is 4 times the brother



.what are the respective ages of mother, daughter and brother ?
