Avg is 80 so total is 240 only.
Before 3 years total is 231.
So avg will be 231/3.
Before 3 years total is 231.
So avg will be 231/3.

See there are 3 person so 3 we've to take then multiple 3 with that 3 person it'll come 9
So 80-3x3=71
So 80-3x3=71

= 80 - (amar3+akbar3+anthony3).
= 80 - (9 their ages).
= 71.
= 80 - (9 their ages).
= 71.

= 80 - (amar3 + akbar3 + anthony3).
= 80 - 9.
= 71.
= 80 - 9.
= 71.

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.

Please note the question they asked total of their age is 80 years 3 years before.
So here total persons are 3 and 3 years before (so 3x3 = 9, then 80-9 = 71 years.
So here total persons are 3 and 3 years before (so 3x3 = 9, then 80-9 = 71 years.

Actually the confusion some are facing is the value provided is not average so there is no need for multiplying 8083 - 9 again divide by 3.
The answer is simple they given 80 in total and asked for deducting 9 from 80 as 3 people * 3 years each = 9.
80-9 = 71.
