    Step-by-step explanation:

    Esinam shere a common ratio hence,

    the lcm of 3 and 5 is 15

    Kissi:Esinam = 9:15 and Esinam:Lariba=15:25

    Combining; 9:15:25

    Let x be the ages such that,

    Kissi=9x and Esinam=15x and Lariba=25x

    9x+15x+25x=147

    49x=147

    x=3

    Youngest; Kissi=9x=9 (3) = 27

    Oldest; Lariba=25x=25 (3) = 75

    Difference 75-27=48
