A is 2 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?

7 years

8 years

9 years

10 years

Explanation:

Explanation: 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
