A girl went to school for the first time and the teacher asked her, "how old are you?"

The girl said, "I don't know but, I know my mother's age is twice my age".

The Teacher asked again, 'how old is your mother?"

The girl replied "I don't know but, I know my father is five years older than my mother".

The teacher finanly asked, "then how old is your father?"

The girl replied again "I don't know but, I know the sum of our ages will give you one hundred".

Girls age = p
Mother's age = 2p
Father's age = 2p + 5
p + 2p +(2p +5) = 100
5p +5 = 100
p = 19

Questions
(i) How old is the girl? 19years

(ii) How old is the mother? = 38years

(iii) How old is the father? = 43years

Which bank's account should I send...?
