1. Rahim is two years older than Karim who is twice as old as Ashraf. If the ages of the three total 27 years, how old is Karim?

  • A. 5
  • B. 5
  • C. 5
  • D. 5

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

Let, Rahim as R, Karim as K, Ashraf as A

R = 2 + K

K = 2A   or A = K/2

now,       R+K+A = 27

             2 + K+K+K/2 = 27

           2K+K/2 = 25

          5K = 50

           K = 10

So, Karim is 10 years old (Ans)
