Answer 1

Answer:

5 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

The 3 sons were born at an interval of 3 years.

Let us say that the age of youngest son is x.

So, age of 2nd son = x + 3

And,

Age of 3rd son = x + 3 +3 = x + 6

Now,

x + x + 3 + x + 6 = 24

3x + 9 = 24

3x = 15

x = 5

Answer 2

Answer:

Let the age of youngest son be- x

24/3x=8 years

The age of the youngest son is 8 years
