Family ages with mixed offsets: Determine parents' ages at a child's birth using given gaps. Brother is 3 years older than Ravi. Father was 28 when sister was born. Mother was 26 when Ravi was born. Sister was 4 when brother was born. Find the father's and mother's ages when the brother was born. Choose the correct ordered pair.

Difficulty: Medium

Correct Answer: 32 years, 23 years

Explanation:


Timeline setup
Take the brother's birth as time T = 0.


Father's age at brother's birth
Sister was 4 at T = 0. Father was 28 when sister was born ⇒ 4 years later at T = 0, Father = 28 + 4 = 32.


Mother's age at brother's birth
Brother is 3 years older than Ravi ⇒ Ravi is born 3 years after T = 0. Mother was 26 when Ravi was born ⇒ at T = 0 she was 26 − 3 = 23.
