1.	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, The How Old Is B?
Answer» LET C's age be X years. Then, B's age = 2x years. A's age = (2x + 2) years. (2x + 2) + 2x + x = 27 5x = 25 x = 5. Hence, B's age = 2x = 10 years. Let C's age be x years. Then, B's age = 2x years. A's age = (2x + 2) years. (2x + 2) + 2x + x = 27 5x = 25 x = 5. Hence, B's age = 2x = 10 years.

Answer»

LET C's age be X years. Then, B's age = 2x years. A's age = (2x + 2) years.

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

5x = 25

x = 5.

Hence, B's age = 2x = 10 years.

Let C's age be x years. Then, B's age = 2x years. A's age = (2x + 2) years.

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

5x = 25

x = 5.

Hence, B's age = 2x = 10 years.
