  • Question
  • A is two years older than B, who is twice old as old as C. If the sum of the ages of A, B and C be 27, then the age of B in years is:


  • Options
  • A. 10
  • B. 9
  • C. 8
  • D. 7

  • Correct Answer
  • 10 

    Explanation

    Let us assume the age of B be P years then age of A will be P + 2 and age of C will be P/2 years.
    Then according to question,
    P + 2 + P + P/2 = 27
    ? P + P + P/2 = 27 - 2
    ? ( 2P + 2P + P)/2 = 25
    ? 5P = 25 x 2
    &there; P = 50/5 = 10 years
    Age of B will be 10 years.
