Quantitative Aptitude ( CCS) Problems based on Ages

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?

12 years

8 years

10 years

None of these

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.

B's age = 2x = 10 years.

Hence, option 4 is the correct answer.
