Question

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

c.If the total ages of a,b and c be 27 . What is the age of b?

Answer 1

let the age of A=(2x+2) ,b=(2x) and c=x.
so, adding the values of A,b and c.
now,
A+b+c

5x+2=27

5x = 27- 2

x = 25 / 5 = 5

age of b = 2x = 2* 5 = 10 years

Answer 2

Let the age of C be x then ,
Age of B = 2x
Age of A = 2x+2
Sum of age of A,B and C = x + 2x + 2x +2 = 5x +2
we have 5x+2 =27
5x = 27-2
5x =25
x=25/5
x=5
Age of B = 2x
= 2 × 5
= 10
Hence , The age of B is 10 years
