A man said he spent 1/6 of his as a child, 1/12 as salesman in a liquor shop, 1/7 and 5 years as a politician and a good husband respectively. At that time Jim was born. Jim was elected as Alderman four years back.when he was half of his age. What is his age?

• let the man's age=x
  so...(x/6+x/12+x/7)+5=(x-x/2)-4
  by solving we get...x=84
  so,...the age of the man is 84... ;)
