I solved in different way. Let me know whether this is correct.
Let x be 9 , looking at options, decided to go for this.
options will be:
a.10
b.27
c.26
d.8
e.3
When we have given info that Chris gave x cards to Jane, i.e. 9 cards as per our case then we can eliminate a,d and e options.
Take option b as it bigger number than c.
Chris has 27 cards = 9(Jane) + one more than to Betty than Jane(10) + two cards fewer than Paul than Betty (8).
27 = 27.
Hence B.
