The repeated identity is the age of Jack's cousin. LCM of 1 and 7 is 7.
The difference in age between Jack and Jack's cousin remains unchanged.
Difference in age between Jack and Jack's cousin
= 14 u - 7 u
= 7 u
7 u = 35
1 u = 35 ÷ 7 = 5
His daughter's present age
= 3 u - 10
= 3 x 5 - 10
= 15 - 10
= 5
Jack's present age
= 14 u - 10
= 14 x 5 - 10
= 70 - 10
= 60
