  Sudeep was travelling in train one night.  It was late, but he was not sleepy. A maths professor was sitting opposite him, and they had been chatting for a while. Few minutes back, the professor had questioned, "there are three men. can you tell me their ages if i tell you that they are together as old as you are, and that the product of their ages is 2450?". After thinking hard for some time, sudeep had replied, 'no, it is not possible." the professor replied, "of course it isn't. i know.  but let me tell you, if i tell you that i am younger than the oldest of the men, you shall be able to find out there ages as well as mine."

what is the professors age?
