A, B, C, D and E are 5 consecutive points on a straight line. If BC = 2CD, DE = 7, AB = 5 and AC = 11, what is the length of AE? Options.
A) 19	B) 21	C) 23	D) 25	E) 27

Rationale: "ac = 11 and ab = 5 , so bc = 6 . bc = 2 cd so cd = 3 . the length of ae is ab + bc + cd + de = 5 + 6 + 3 + 7 = 21 the answer is b ."
Answer: B
