Given age of the student-30
Let age of Ms.Rotunda & Dr. Calculus - x & y
Now,condition->
1st - xy=(x+y)*30
2nd - x=y+11

then,
(y+11)(y)=(2y+11)*30
=> y^2+11y=60y+330
=> y^2-49y-330=0
=> y^2-55y+6y-330=0
=> y(y-55)+6(y-55)=0
=> (y+6)(y-55)=0
=> y=55(age can't be -ve)
Dr. Calculus-> 55 years
Ms. Rotunda-> 66 years
Student -> 30 years

Sum of the Age -> 151 years

1st condition: xy=(x+y)*30

2nd condition: x=y+11

Now,
(y+11)(y)=(2y+11)*30
=> y^2+11y=60y+330
=> y^2-49y-330=0
=> y^2-55y+6y-330=0
=> y(y-55)+6(y-55)=0
=> (y+6)(y-55)=0
=> y=55 as the age can not be negative,

Therefore the age of Dr. Calcus is: 55 years and that of Ms. Rotunda will be 66 years. I am confused about the illicit entry of their student in the question.

Let age of Dr. calcus be x,
age of Ms.Rotunda be x+11(given that age of ms Rotunda is 11 years more than Dr. calcus)
,and the age of the faculty who joined recently is 30(given)
a/q
x(x+11)=(x+x+11)30
x^2+11x=60x+330
x^2-49x-330=0
(x-55)(x+6)=0
x=55
now,the sum of all the ages are 55+66+30=151 anss..
