Answer:

37 years difference.

Step-by-step explanation:

K = Kissi

k = Age of Kissi

E = Esinam

e = Age of Esinam

L = Lariba

l = Age of Lariba

k + e + l = 147

K : E

3 : 5 → (×3) → 12 : 15

E : L

3 : 5 → (×5) → 15 : 25

K : E : L

12 : 15 : 25

12 + 15 + 25 = 52

147/52 = 2.8269...

K is the young since out of the three part ratio, 12 is the smallest and likewise, L is the oldest.

k = 12 × 2.8269... = 33.923... → 34 y/o

e = 15 × 2.8269... = 42.40... → 42 y/o

l = 25 × 2.8269... = 70.673... → 71 y/o

∴ The difference between the youngest and oldest is:

71 - 34 = 37
