Answer:the ages of the youngest and the eldest is 4 years and 20 Years respectively
Step-by-step explanation:
Ratio of the ages of three children is 2:5:1.
Total ratio =2+5+1=8
So that
the 1st Child’s age =2/8 x 32=8 years
2nd Child’s age =5/8 x 32= 20 years
3rd Child’s age =1/8 x 32= 4 years
Therefore the ages of the youngest and the eldest is 4 years and 20 Years respectively.
