Answer
The ages are 2, 2 , 9
The possible combinations of the ages of the three daughters are as follows:
Daughter 1 / Daughter 2 / Daughter 3 / sum
1 2 18 21
2 2 9 13
1 1 36 38
1 3 12 16
1 6 6 13
1 4 9 14
2 3 6 11
After the inventor, going to see the house number, could not answer this, it means that the number was 13. (if it were any other number, he could answer immediately since there would be once in the third column of the table something that does not correspond to 13) So when the housewife told him that her eldest daughter was sick , she concluded that the right combination was 2 2 9 very simply because the other combination has two daughters as the biggest while it should be One oldest.
9.
