Question

A is two years older than b who is twice as old as

c. if the total of the agesof a, b and c be 27, then how old is b? *

Answer 1

Let the age of C be x
Age of B will be 2x
Age of A will be 2+2x

Sum is 27

Equating we get

x+2x+2+2x=27
5x=27-2
x=25/5
x=5 years

Age of A is 12y
Age of B is 10y
Age of C is 5y

Answer 2

Hiiii friend,


Let the present age of C is X years.


Age of B = 2X .


Then the age of A is = 2X +2


According to question,


A + B + C = 27

2X + 2 + 2X + X = 27

5X +2 = 27


5X = 27-2


5X = 25


X = 25/5 => 5 years.


Age of C = X = 5 years

age of B = 2X = 2 × 5 = 10 years

And,


Age of A = 2X + 2 = 10 + 2 = 12 years.



HOPE IT WILL HELP YOU..... :-)
