Question

Q1. A is two years older than B who is twice as old as C. If the total of the ages of A, B and C be 27, then how old is B?

12 Years

18 Years

10 Years

15 Years

Accepted Answer

Answer : 10 Years

Let C's age be x years.
Then, B's age = 2x years and A's age = (2x + 2) years.
∴ (2x + 2) + 2x + x = 27
⇒ 5x = 25
⇒ x = 5.

∴ Hence, B's age = 2x = 10 years.
