Answers were Sorted based on User's Feedback
since the product is 72, there are only 12 possibilities.
the product and sum are
1 1 72 = 74 2 2 18 = 22
1 2 36 = 39 2 3 12 = 17
1 3 12 = 16 2 4 9 = 15
1 4 18 = 23 2 6 6 = 14
1 6 12 = 19 3 3 8 = 14
1 8 9 = 18 3 4 6 = 13
since the sum of their ages gives the door number of venkat
and venkat needs some more information, indicates that
there should be two same sums. that is
2 6 6 = 14
3 3 8 = 14
since the boy is the elder of three, he could be eight
years old. so the ages are the daughters are age 3 and boy
is aged 8.
