Answer:
Correct Answer: A
Solution:
- When Ravi was born, his mother’s age was 26 y and his elder brother was 3 yr elder to him.
$ \therefore $ Mother’s age when brother was born $ =26-3=23yr $
Ravi’s father was 28 yr of age when his sister was born and his sister was 4 yr of age when his brother was born.
$ \therefore $ Age of father when brother was born $ =28+4=32yr $
