Solution

The correct option is B 11
We do not know sunita’s age.
Let us take it to be $y$ years. .
Sunita’s mother’s age is 3years older than $3 y$ ;
It is also given that Sunita’s mother is 36 years old.
Therefore, $3 y + 3 = 36$
Subract $3$ from both side
$3 y + 3 - 3 = 36 - 3$
$3 y = 33$
Divide both side by 3
$y = 11$
