  1,3,24 sum 28
  1,4,18 sum 23
  1,6,12 sum 19
  1,8,9 sum 18
  2,2,18 sum 22
  2,3,12 sum 17
  2,4,9 sum 15
  2,6,6 sum 14
  3,3,8 sum 14
  3,4,6 sum 13
  Rest of combinations are repeating or there are between precedent
  Between all of combinations only
  2,6,6 sum 14 and
  3,3,8 sum 14
  have the same sum otherwise you doesn't say boy is elder because all sum are distinct then on the Venkat's door is writing 14 and he has a son elder of three then ages are
  Boy 8 years and twin daughters are 3 years old
