A wizard named Nepo says "I am only three times my son's age. My father is 40 years more than twice my age. Together the three of us are a mere 1240 years old." How old is Nepo?

• 
  360 years
  
  If ages of son, Nepo and father are S,N and F respectively , then
  N/3 + N + 2N+ 40 = 1240
  
  solving this , we get N = 360 years

• let age of nepo=x
  age of son=x/3
  father age 2x+40
  
  x+x/3+2x+40=1240
  x+x/3+2x=1200
  x=1200*3/10
  =360

• Let the age of Nepo be x
  son's age = x/3
  Father is 40 years more than twice that of Nepo's age ---40+2x
  Total sum is 1240
  Hence x+x/3+40+2x=1240
  solving this we get x=360
  Therefore the age of Nepo is 360

• intally nepo age=x
  son=x/3
  father=40+2x
  as per condition x+x/3+40+2x=1240then x=360
