Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Answer: 32 years

Reasoning:

  • Brother is 3 years older than you; sister is 4 years older than brother. So sister is 3 + 4 = 7 years older than you.

  • Father was 28 years old at the sister's birth.

  • The brother was born 4 years after the sister, so the father's age at the brother's birth = 28 + 4 = 32 years.
