Solution

The correct option is A

32 years and 23 years


Since Ravi's brother is 3 years senior to him. This means that his brother was born 3 years before he was born. Since his mother was 26 years old when he was born, Ravi's mother age when his brother was born = 26 - 3 = 23 years.

Similarly, his sister was 4 years of age when his brother was born. So, his brother was born 4 years after his sister. At the time of birth of his sister, his father's age was 28 years. So, at the time of brother's birth, father's age = 28 + 4 = 32 years.
