A simple logic behind the problem is;
80 - 3 * 3.
=> 80 - 9 = 71.
80 - 3 * 3.
=> 80 - 9 = 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?

Yes, this is right why because the total age of three persons is 80,before three years, we have to subtract each three with the total age. i.e,(80-3+3+3) = 71.
That's all.
That's all.

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).

Let the 3 persons age be 50, 28 and 2 (50+28+2 = 80).
Before 3 years, age be 47, 25, 0.
So, total age before 3 years(47 + 25 + 0 = 72).
Note: Age can not be negative.
Before 3 years, age be 47, 25, 0.
So, total age before 3 years(47 + 25 + 0 = 72).
Note: Age can not be negative.
