Answer 1

Answer:

Let the ratio of a:b:c be 5x : 8x : 9x.

It is given that age of a + c is 56 years old.

=> 5x + 9x = 56

=> 14x = 56

=> x = 56 / 14 = 4

Hence the age of b is 8x. Substituting the value of x we get,

Age of b = 8 * 4 = 32 years

Hence the age of b is 32 years.

Answer 2

Answer:

Let the ratio of a:b:c be 5x : 8x : 9x. It is given that age of a + c is 56 years old. Hence the age of b is 32 years.
