If Tom's age is 5 years less than the combined ages of Dick and Harry, what is the sum of the ages of Tom, Dick, and Harry?

1) Two of the people are the same age.
2) Dick is 2 years older than Harry.

t = d+h-5.
t+d+h = 2t+5.
b) d=2+h. t =2h-3. insufficient
A) insufficient
A&B) if t,d same age, h=5 and thus total = 19
if t,h same age, d=5 and total = 17.
insufficient
IMO E
