I saw this sentence in a grammar book.
- Who is the youngest girl of the three.
But I think that I can change of to out of without changing the meaning. Is it true? Please tell me.

All of these are quite commonly heard in AmE:
In this particular usage, out of is the more colloquial/informal, so while it is heard fairly often it would be far less likely to appear in expository writing.
