If his sister was 4 years of age when his brother was born, what were the ages of Ravi's father and mother respectively when his brother was born ?

A. 32 years, 23 years

B. 32 years, 29 years

C. 35 years, 29 years

D. 35 years, 33 years

Answer: Option A

Solution(By Examveda Team)

When Ravi's brother was born, let Ravi's father's age = x years and mother's age = y years.
Then, sister's age = (x - 28) years. So, x - 28 = 4 or x = 32.
Ravi's age = (y - 26) years. Age of Ravi's brother = (y - 26 + 3) years = (y - 23) years.
Now, when Ravi's brother was born, his age = 0 i.e. y - 23 = 0 or y = 23.

    B=R+3 F----28---->------+4------>[32]
    F=S+28 S -----4------->B --------3--------->R
    M=R+26 [23]
    Therefore, when brother was born, F=32
    M=23
