    Explanation

    Given :- Average age of A and C = 35 years
    ? A + C = 70 years ......... ( ? )
    Average age of B, and D = 40 years.
    ? B + D = 80 years ......... ( ? )
    and Average age of B, C and D = 40 years.
    ? B + C + D = 120 years ......... ( ? )
    With the help of equations ( ? ) , ( ? ) and ( ? ) , we get
    ? age of C = 40 years and age of A = 30 years
    According to question ,
    ? age of A + age of D = age of B + age of C
    ? A + D = B + C
