Mr. Tan has two daughters. His elder daughter is 1/3 of his age while his younger daughter is 1/4 of his age. If Mr. Tan’s age is 60, how old are his elder and youngest daughter?

Let Mr. Tan's age be a. We're given:
  • Elder Daughter's age = 60/3 = 20 years old
  • Younger Daughter's age = 60/4 = 15 years old
