How could it be 71 it can be 77 because age of Akbar amar and Anthony is 80 after years years means from 80 we have to subtract 3 years. So we get 80-3 = 77.

Amar+anthony+akbar=80.
We divide 80 into 3 parts as 26.5.
He said 3 yrs means cut in 26.5-3 then 23.5.
Then we add 23.5+23.5+23.5 = 70.5 exactly 71.

Let the 3 persons age be 30, 30, 20(30+30+20 = 80)
Before 3 years, age be 27, 27, 17.
So, total age before 3 years(27 + 27 + 17 = 71).
Before 3 years, age be 27, 27, 17.
So, total age before 3 years(27 + 27 + 17 = 71).

How? The questions is total 3 persons age is 80 years then 3 years back if we calculate it will be 77. Then how 71 is possible?

Total 3 Members, age is 80.
That is 80/3 = 26.2.
26,26,28 = 80.
3 years ago,
23, ,23, 25 = 71.
Hence Proved "71".

@All.
Decrease 1 year by 1year so then 3 years they decreased their age by 3 years by 3 persons
Then 80-3 * 3 = 71.

If their total ages now 80 then three years ago their total ages would be 80-3 = 77.
So, why not 77 is correct?

Sum of their ages 3 years ago = 9 (i.e age of Akbar=3, age of Amar=3 age of Anthony).
Therefore 80 - 9 = 71.
Therefore 80 - 9 = 71.
