My brother Ravi is 3 years older than me. My father was 28 years old when my sister Neha was born, and my mother was 26 years old when I was born. If Neha was 4 years old when Ravi was born, how old was my father when Ravi was born?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → 32 years
The difference between two people’s ages never changes, so only the gaps between the father, Neha and Ravi are needed. The mother’s age is not needed.
Father is 28 years older than Neha
Neha was 4 when Ravi was born, so she is 4 years older than Ravi
Father’s age when Ravi was born \(=28+4=32\) years
