if u want to find out this solution using calculation it will be messed up.
rather doing so go for logical thinking.....
here eldest son is thrice of youngest.
so,the age of the eldest child should be divisible by 3.
hence, 12 0r 15
then applying condition 12 is not possible as youngest will be 4 then
so middle may be 9 or 7 but which does nt satisfy the condition
elder=2+(other's sum ofage)
taking 15 is satisfying all the condition
option (b) is correct.

b) x,y,z be ages where x is of eldest,z is of youngest
y-z=3
x=3z
x=y+z+2
solving x=15 ans

As given difference between any of two grandchildren if you take x-y=3 solution gives y=0 not possible so take y-z =3
