• ans is 56,32 & 8
  here options are incorrect
  let Ana have $x
  Bill-$y
  and Clare-$z
  after 1st condition- Ana will be having $(x-y-z)
  Bill will be having $2y
  Ana will be having $2z
  now after 2nd condition - Bill will be having $(2y-2z-(x-y-z))=$(-x+3y-z)
  Clare will be having $4z
  Ana will be having $(2x-2y-2z)
  
  then each of the people had $32.
  
  this gives 4z=32
  z=8
  solving oher two eqns we get the ans as 56,32 8

• ans is 52,28 and 16 respectively
  let us solve it through backtracking
  let Ana,Bill and Clare have 52,28 and 16 $ respectively.
  according to 1 condition....
  $ for Ana=52-(28+16)=8
  for Bill=(28+28)=56
  for Clare=(16+16)=32
  according to second condition...
  $ for Bill=56-(8+32)=16
  for Ana=8+8=16
  for Clare=32+32=64
  according to third condition...
  $ for Clare=64-32=32
  for Ana=16+16=32
  for Bill=16+16=32

• Solve it through option's!!!
  
  52,28,16,
  8 => 28+ 28
  16=> 8+8 +32 +32,
  32=>16+16 + 16 +16=>32 + 32 !!!
