20 years

- The average age of friends A and B is given as 24 years.

- This means the combined age of A and B is \(24 \times 2 = 48\) years.

- The average age of A, B, and C is given as 22 years.

- Thus, the total age for A, B, and C together is \(22 \times 3 = 66\) years.

- To find the age of C, subtract the combined age of A and B from the total age: \(66 - 48 = 18\).

- Option 2: 18 years is the correct answer.
