Question

    My sister is 5 years elder to me. My father was 30 years of age when my brother was born while my mother was 28 years of age when I was born. If my brother was 6 years of age when my sister was born, then what was the age of my father and mother respectively when my sister was born?

    A 36 years and 25 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 30 years and 23 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 36 years and 23 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 30 years and 24 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Clearly, my sister was born 5 years before I was born and 6 years after my brother was born.  So, father’s age when sister was born = (30 + 6) years = 36 years Mother’s age when sister was born = (28 – 5) years = 23 years
