Answer:
Let the age of C be x
Age of B = 2x
Age of A = 2x - 2
The total age = Rs 28
By the given condition
x+2x+2x-2 = 28
5x- 2 = 28
5x = 28+2 = 30
x = 30/5
= 6
The age of B = 2x = 2*6 = 12 years
hope this helps you!!

Heya❤
According to the question...
A = B - 2 .... (1)
B = 2C .... (2)
A+B+C = 28 ... (3)
Substitute equations 1 and 2 in 3
(B -2) + 2C + C =28
B-2+3C =28
B+3C = 30
B = 30 - 3C ...... (4)
Substitute equation 2 in 4
2C = 30 - 3C
5C = 30
☆C = 6 ☆
Substitute the value of C in 2
B = 2×6
☆B = 12☆
and
A= 12 -2
☆A=10☆
Hence,
☞☞B is 12 years old☜☜
