Question 1
The product of the ages of Hemant, Leon, and Elena is 1944. The eldest is 2 times the youngest, and the middle child's age is between them. Find the age of the eldest.
Let youngest = x, then eldest = 2x
Then middle = 1944 ÷ (x × 2x) = 1944 ÷ (2x²)
Testing x = 9: middle = 1944 ÷ (2 × 9²) = 12
Therefore, eldest = 18
Then middle = 1944 ÷ (x × 2x) = 1944 ÷ (2x²)
Testing x = 9: middle = 1944 ÷ (2 × 9²) = 12
Therefore, eldest = 18
