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? Pick one
A) 5  B) 6  C) 8  D) 10  E) 12
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 :10
