Logic Puzzle: Ziluland Mysteris: II

The Xanders of Ziluland have a tribal leader who is 3/2 times as old as the leader of the Yangees, but only 2/3 times as old as the leader of the Zuhus.

The age of the leader of the Zuhus is the same as the area of the town square in meters. The leader of the Yangees is not yet 18. No One's age is a decimal point. They are all whole integers. Can you find their ages?

Arun was being his usual boastful self – bragging on and on about everything that he could do. “Do you know what is 17 squared – 16 squared?”
Everyone looked at him.
“Ha ha! Knew you didn’t! 33!” he gloated.
“I bet you memorised that all night only to impress us in the morning!” Nirvaan said.
“Really? Ask me the difference between the squares of any 2 numbers next to each other, any 2, and I will tell you in less than a minute.”
Ishaan, Vedant, Neel and everyone else took turns testing him, but he always came out on top.
How was Arun doing this?
