(B) Let the second number be $x$.Then,the first number is $2x$.The third number is one-third of the first,which is $\frac{1}{3} 	imes 2x = \frac{2x}{3}$.According to the problem,the sum of these three numbers is $132$:$2x + x + \frac{2x}{3} = 132$Multiply the entire equation by $3$ to clear the fraction:$6x + 3x + 2x = 396$$11x = 396$$x = \frac{396}{11} = 36$.Thus,the second number is $36$.

Sum of three numbers is $132$. The first number is twice the second,and the third number is one-third of the first. Find the second number.
