A is two years older than B who is twice as old as C. If the total of the ages of A, B and C be 27, the how old is B?
A. 7
B. 8
C. 9
D. 10
E. 11

• A=B+2
  B=2c => C=B/2
  
  A+B+C=27
  
  (2+B)+B+(B/2)=27
  
  => B=10

• ans is option D)10
  A=B+2
  B=2c => A=2C+2
  
  A+B+C=27
  
  2C+2+2C+C=27
  
  => 5C=25....==>C=5
  So B=2C
  B=2(5)=10

• c age x,
  then b age is 2x
  so a age is 2x+2.
  (2x+2)+2x+x=27
  5x=25
  x=5
  so b is 2x=2(5)
  ans is 10

• Answer: (D)
  Solution:
  let C age=x
  then B age=2x
  and A age=2x+2
  A+B+C=27
  x+2x+2x+2=27
  x=5
  so B age is 2x
  2*5=10 years.

• A=B+2
  B=2c => C=B/2
  A+B+C=27
  (2+B)+B+(B/2)=27
  => B=10

• D. 10
  A = 12, B = 10, C = 5.
  So, A = B + 2
  B = 2C
  A+B+C = 27

• Answer is 10
  A+B+C=27
  2+B+B+(B/2)=27
  B=10

• Let the age of C will be x
  Then B=2x
  And A= 2x+2
  So, total age is given i.e27
  Now, x+2x+2x+2=27
  X=5
  So ans will be 2×5=10

• 10
  given,
  a=b+2,
  b=2c =>c=b/2
  a+b+c=(b+2)+b+(b/2)

• 10 is the answer as let b=x then c=x/2 and a=x+2 add all 5x=50 then x=10

• From given problem
  A=2+B
  and B=2*C
  and A+b+c=27
  => 2+B+B+B/2=27
  =>5*B/2=25
  =>B=5

• (D)
  A = B+2
  B=2C
  A+B+C =2C+2+2C+C =27
  C=5
  B=10
  A=12
