Let's Mahesh age=x
suppose Minimum age diff 1 year
Bhuwan age=(x+1)
Chandan age=(x-1)
Now,
(x+1)+(x-1)=48
x=24
Ans: Mahesh age is 24 years

Answer is same but the method is different
Since Chandan is the yongest one , consider his age as X
Then Mahesh will be X + X = 2 X
Bhuwan = 2X + X = 3 X
4X = 48
X = 12

Mahesh age is = 2 X = 24.
