Answer 2

Answer:

Here your Answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

soluation,

A is two years older than B

so, you can say that , A = B+2

If B is twice as old as C then, B = 2C

Now, we can write , A = 2C +2

∴ The total age is 27 years.

Let, A +B +C = 27

or, 2C+2 +2C +C = 27

or, 5C  = 27-2

or, 5C = 25

or, C = 5

∴ C is 5 year older, A is (2C+2)=12 year older and

B is (2C)=10 years older.
