The repeated identity is the age of Fabian's nephew. LCM of 1 and 3 is 3.
The difference in age between Fabian and Fabian's nephew remains unchanged.
Difference in age between Fabian and Fabian's nephew
= 6 u - 3 u
= 3 u
3 u = 27
1 u = 27 ÷ 3 = 9
His daughter's present age
= 1 u - 4
= 1 x 9 - 4
= 9 - 4
= 5
Fabian's present age
= 6 u - 4
= 6 x 9 - 4
= 54 - 4
= 50
