Solution

ATQ, When Arjun was born, his mother’s age was 30 years and his brother is 5 yrs elder to Arjun. ∴ Arjun mother’s age (at his brother’s birth) = 30 – 5 = 25 years Arjun’s father was 32 years old when his sister was born.  Arjun’s sister is 6 years elder to his brother. ∴ The age of Arjun’s father (at his brother’s birth) = 32 + 6 = 38 years Hence, the age of Arjun’s mother and father was 25 yrs and 38yrs
