The ratio of the ages of three children is 2:4:5

Total ratio of their ages is

And the sum of their ages is 33

Using individual ratios to find the ages of the children

For the child with the ratio of 2, the age is

$(2)/(11)*33=2*3=6\text{ years}$

The child with the ratio of 2 is 6 years old

For the child with the ratio of 4, the age is

$(4)/(11)*33=4*3=12\text{ years}$

The child with the ratio of 4 is 12 years old

For the child with the ratio of 5, the age is

$(5)/(11)*33=5*3=15\text{ years}$

The child with the ratio of 5 is 15 years old

Hence, the age of each children is 6, 12 and 15 years
