The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will define the ages of Ranjeev and his family members at the time of his birth. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Define Variables**: - Let Ranjeev's age when he was born be \( R = 0 \) (since we are considering the time of his birth). - Let Ranjeev's brother's age when Ranjeev was born be \( B \). - Let Ranjeev's father's age when Ranjeev was born be \( F \). - Let Ranjeev's mother's age when Ranjeev was born be \( M \). - Let Ranjeev's sister's age when Ranjeev was born be \( S \). 2. **Establish Relationships**: - From the problem, we know: - Ranjeev's brother is 6 years older than Ranjeev: \[ B = R + 6 = 0 + 6 = 6 \] - Ranjeev's father is 32 years older than Ranjeev's brother: \[ F = B + 32 = 6 + 32 = 38 \] - Ranjeev's mother is 3 years younger than his father: \[ M = F - 3 = 38 - 3 = 35 \] - Ranjeev's mother is 25 years older than his sister: \[ M = S + 25 \implies S = M - 25 = 35 - 25 = 10 \] 3. **Conclusion**: - Therefore, Ranjeev's sister was **10 years old** when he was born. ### Final Answer: Ranjeev's sister was 10 years old when he was born. ---
