Explanation:
Mr. and Mrs. Gupta have three children - Pratik, Writtik and Kajol, all of whom were born in different cities. Pratik is 2 years elder to Writtik. Mr. Gupta was 30 years of age when Kajol was born in Hyderabad, while Mrs. Gupta was 28 years of age when Writtik was born in Bangalore. If Kajol was 5 years of age when Pratik was born in Mumbai, then what were the ages of Mr. and Mrs. Gupta respectively at the time of Pratik’s birth.
It is given that Pratik is 2 years elder to Writtik and Kajol was 5 years of age when Pratik was born in Mumbai. Hence, we can say that Kajol is the eldest and Writtik is the youngest.
Mrs. Gupta was 28 years of age when Writtik was born in Bangalore. Hence, at the time of Pratik's birth Mrs. Gupta would have been two years younger i.e. 28 - 2 = 26 years old.
Mr. Gupta was 30 years of age when Kajol was born. Hence, at the time of Pratik's birth Mr. Gupta would have been 5 years older i.e. 30 + 5 = 35 years old.
Hence, option A is the correct answer.
