The Singhs recently were visited by their favourite uncle, who had landed from America. The parents displayed all the five kids. First in line was Bunny and then can Geet. When the uncle asked how old they were, Mr. Singh said that the boy was exactly twice as old as the girl. Then in walked Harpreet, who told that the combined age of Geet and herself was twice that of Bunny. Then the next kid, Chatur came running in and all excited (possibly on account of the fact that he might receive some gifts), and the mother of the kids remarked that the combined ages of the two boys were exactly twice the combined ages of the two girls. The Uncle has barely absorbed all these facts when Jaspreet entered the room and announced, “Uncle you have actually arrived on my 21st birthday”. To this fact, Mr. Singh finally added: “The combined ages of my three girls is exactly equal to twice the combined ages of my two boys”. What were the ages of the kids, according to these facts provided to the uncle of the kids?
