Question:

My brother, Ravi is 3 years elder than me. My father's age was 28 years when my sister, Neha was born, and my mother's age was 26 years when I was born. If Neha's age was 4 years when Ravi was born, what was the age of my father when Ravi was born?

Options:

35 Yr

34 Yr

33 Yr

32 Yr

Correct Answer:

32 Yr

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (4) → 32 Yr

We can find the father's age when Ravi was born by looking at the timeline of the births:

  1. Father's age when Neha was born: 28 years old.
  2. Time passed between Neha's birth and Ravi's birth: The problem states that Neha was 4 years old when Ravi was born. This means Ravi was born exactly 4 years after Neha.

To find the father's age when Ravi was born, we simply add those 4 years to the father's age at Neha's birth:

$\text{Father's age} = 28 + 4 = 32 \text{ years}$

Therefore, the correct choice is 32 Yr.
