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

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

• answer is 10
  let c =x then b=2x and a will be 2x+2.
  5x+2=27
  x=5 i.e c=5.

• A is thief. as no any thief agree that he is thief... so all the 3 statement that "i did not do" is false statement.
  hence statement "B did not do.", " C did not do." and "I donot know who did it."are true statement
  that is B and C are not thief so A will b thief.

• b is thief because
  c didnot do (t) ,he didnot know (f)
  b did not do(f),c did not do(t)
  a did not do(t),b didnot do (f)
  By using this we can say B is theif

• D. ans 10
  let c=x
  b=2x
  c=2x+2
  x+2x+2x+2=27
  x=5
  b=2*5
  b=10

• assume c=x,then b=2x,a=2x+2;
  2x+2+2x+x=27=>5x+2=27=>x=5
  here b=2x so,b=10

• A = 2 + B
  B = 2C
  A+B+C = 27
  then ,B = 10
  D. 10 is solution

• Let C's age be x years. Then, B's age = 2x years. A's age = (2x + 2) years.
  (2x + 2) + 2x + x = 27
  5x = 25
  x = 5.
  Hence, B's age = 2x = 10 years.
