    Ravi's brother is 3 yr senior to him. His father was 28 age when his sister was born while his mother was 26 age when he was born. If his sister was 4 yr of age when his brother was born, what were the ages of Ravi's father mother respectively when his brother was born?

    A)  32 yr, 23 yr                  

    B)  32 yr, 29 yr

    C)  35 yr, 29 yr                  

    D)  35 yr, 33 yr

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

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