Let's represent the ages of James, Ann, and Ciss as follows:

James = k years old
Ann = a years old
Ciss = c years old

According to the given information:
1. James is 3 times as old as Ann:
k = 3a

2. Ciss is twice as old as James:
c = 2k

3. The sum of the age of the two daughters is 24:
a + c = 24

Now, we can substitute the values of k and c from equations 1 and 2 into equation 3:

a + 2k = 24
a + 2(3a) = 24
a + 6a = 24
7a = 24
a = 24/7
a = 3.43 (approx.)

Now, we can find the values of k and c using the values of a:

k = 3a
k = 3(3.43)
k = 10.29 (approx.)

c = 2k
c = 2(10.29)
c = 20.58 (approx.)

Therefore, James is approximately 10 years old, Ann is approximately 3 years old, and Ciss is approximately 21 years old.

Given that:
James is "k" years old
Ann is 3 times younger than James, so Ann is k/3 years old
Ciss is twice as old as James, so Ciss is 2k years old
The sum of the age of the two daughters is 24, so Ann + Ciss = 24
Substituting the values of Ann and Ciss, we get:
$$k/3 + 2k = 24$$
Simplifying the equation:
$$7k/3 = 24$$
Multiplying both sides by 3:
$$7k = 72$$
Dividing both sides by 7:
$$k = 10$$
Therefore, James is 10 years old.
Ann is 10/3 = 3.33 years old.
Ciss is 2 - 10 = 20 years old.
