    Age problems
    Please help me answering this age problem.. Tnx.. This is the question :

    Mr. Parabola, a mathematics teacher was traveling by bus with his family consisting of his mother,wife,son and daughter. The bus conductor doubting the sons right to have a half-fare of ticket asked. "how old is your daughter?" Mr. Parabola irritated at having his honesty questioned, confused the conductor with his answer. "my daughter is twice as old as my son. My wife is three times as old as the sum of the ages of my son and daughter, and I am as old as my wife and daughter. My mother whose age is the total of all your ages is now 69." Can you help the conductor in finding the age of the girl.
