Question

P is two years older than q and q is two times old as old r.If the total of the ages of p, q and r be 27, the how old is b

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the age of R be = x

So,

Age of Q = 2(x)

and,

Age of P = 2x + 2

Also,

Sum of their ages = 27

So,

(2x + 2) + 2x + x = 27

5x + 2 = 27

5x = 25

x = 5

Therefore, the age of P is = 2x + 2 = 2(5) + 2 = 12 years

Age of Q = 2x = 2(5) = 10 years

Age of R = x = 5 years

Hence, the age of P, Q and R are 12, 10 and 5 respectively.
