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? Choices.
A) 8
B) 9
C) 10
D) 11
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
