The youngest is 1 and other 2 are 6.
Am I right ?

another 9,2,2 is also possible
which is the correct answer Mayur!

Ages can be :
1,1,36 sum=38
1,2,18 sum=21
1,3,12 sum=16
1,4,9 sum=14
1,6,6 sum=13
2,2,9 sum=13
2,3,6 sum=11
3,3,4 sum=10
As the person needs more clues the sum is 13 ( 1,6,6 or 2,2,9) i.e not unique
The statement "my youngest daughter sleeping upstairs" indicates that 'youngest' is only 1 person so answer is 1,6,6 it cant be 2,2,9

I guess it's 1,4,9..assuming the elder two are at school and the sum (14) is unique 😁

its 1,6,6
product is=36
when peson went to opposite house, got confused in 2 cases i.e(1,6,6)&(2,2,9).
lady said youngest daughter that means youngest is not twince so ans is(1,6,6).

assumptions:
1.opp house no is a whole number unlike x/c/201 etc... 😁(no reason behind this assumption)
2.youngest daughter sleeping at home!😀 other two are not at home during the day time when the inspection is being done , so can go out without their mom...
xyz=36,
case1: if the opp house no =odd
then x+y+z=odd
factors of 36 satisfying are:
2,6,3
6,6,1
9,2,2
since twp are eligible for going out and only 1 youngest around
i came to conclusion its 6,6,1
case2😲pp house no even
x+y+z=even
4,3,3
12,3,1
9,4,1
since only 1 youngest 4,3,3 is discarded
and a child of 3 years may not be out by itself
hence might be 9,4,1 as well
so finally its 6,6,1

Good explanation Durga. But I don't see the logic behind the assumptions.

I had already mentioned buddy!! 😁 no specific reason behind assumtpions..
Its just a kind of hypothesis...
firstly , since she said that her kids age was sum as the house opposite...i assumed it should be a whole number
and second one i assumed coz...
the man came for inspection and he is on work... so it might be after 9 am and since a child is sleeping means its still not old enough to go out
this is all what i could think😒
