The repeated identity is the age of Vaidev's son. LCM of 1 and 5 is 5.
The difference in age between Vaidev and Vaidev's son remains unchanged.
Difference in age between Vaidev and Vaidev's son
= 15 u - 5 u
= 10 u
10 u = 30
1 u = 30 ÷ 10 = 3
His daughter's present age
= 2 u - 3
= 2 x 3 - 3
= 6 - 3
= 3
Vaidev's present age
= 15 u - 3
= 15 x 3 - 3
= 45 - 3
= 42
