Step-by-step explanation:

It is given than Paul is older than Bill.

Let age of Bill= x years, as x is a natural number.

Then, age of Paul = (x + a) Years, where a is any natural number.

And, Fred is younger than Bill.

So, age of Fred= x - k, where k is any natural number.

So, if we arrange the ages of Fred, Bill and Paul, their ages would be

Fred < Bill < Paul

x-k < x < x+a

Hence, we can say that , Paul is eldest, and Fred is smallest member between three.
