Solution

The correct option is A 32 years, 23 years
When Ravi's brother was born
let Ravi's Father's age = x years
Mother's age = y years
Then, sister's age = x28 years
So, x28=4
x=32 years
Ravi's age = y26 years
Age of Ravi's brother = y26+3=y23 years
When Ravi's brother was born, his age = 0
Thus, y23=0
y=23 years
Hence, Father = 32 years and Mother = 23 years
