32. Difference between Bholu's and Molu's age is 2 years and the difference between Molu's and Kolu's age is 5 years. What is the maximum possible value of the sum of the difference in their ages, taken two at a time?

• B-M=2
  M-K=5
  BY SOLVING WE GET
  
  B-K=7
  
  .............
  SO MAX . POSSIBLE SUM IS (M-K)+(B-K)=5+7=12

• B-M=2
  M-K=5
  B-K=7
  (B-M)+(M-K)+(B-K)=2+5+7=14

• B-M=2
  M-K=5
  B-K=7
  taking 2 at a time max is 7+5=12
  so 12 is the correct ans

• i guess 7... B-M=2;M-K=5
  HENCE B-K=7

• |b-m|=2
  |m-k|=5
  to get maximum sum the next combination difference(|b-k| must be maximum
  =>b-m=2
  =>m-k=5
  =>b-k=7
  hence maximum sum of difference taken two at a time is (m-k)+(b-k)=7+5=12
  Some will get doubt that why should i take (b-m) for |b-m|
  m-k for |m-k|
  Reason:if we take m-b=2
  m-k=5
  then difference b-k will be 3 and then we will get minimum sum value of the difference in their ages, taken two at a time.

• b-m=2
  m-k=5....so b-k=7....now taking sum of difference in their ages, taken two at a time...the maximum value is 7+5=12....

• We have 3 combination.
  |(B-M)|=2, |(M-K)|=5, |(B-K)|=7
  CLEARLY=MAX SUM=14
