Question

a is two years oldr than b who is twice as old as c,the total age of a,b,and cis 27,find the b

Answer 1

Hey...,!!

Let the age of C be x.
So, B = 2x
And, A = 2x + 2

According to question,

X + 2x + 2x + 2 = 27
=> 5x = 27 - 2
=> 5x = 25
=> x = 25/5
=> x = 5

So, B = 2 * 5 = 10

Hope it helps...!!!

Answer 2

Heya dear !!!!

Let the present age of C is X years.

Then the age of B = 2X years.

Age of A = (2X + 2).

According to question,

Sum of ages of A , B and C = 27

X + 2X + 2X +2 = 27

5X + 2 = 27

5X = 27-2

5X = 25

X = 25/5

X = 5 years


*******************************

Age of C = X = 5 years

Age of B = 2X = 2 × 5 years.

And,

Age of C = 2X +2 = 2 × 5 +2 = 10 years.
