    let's say:

    Husband's present age: a

    Wife's present age : b

    Daughter's present age : c

    (a - 3) + (b - 3) + (c - 3) = 27 x 3

    a + b + c = 90

    (b - 5) + (c - 5) = 40

    b + c - 10 = 40

    b + c = 50

    a = 90 - 50

    a = 40

    Husband's present age is 40 years old.
