let x and y be his and his sister's present age respectively.
then,his father's age=x+30, mom's age=y+25
[(x+30)+x+(25+y)+y]/4=26.25
55+2x+2y=105
2x+2y=50
x+y=25.............................(1)
after 4 years,
[(30+x+4)+x+4+(25+y+4)]/3=107/3
(67+2x+y)/3=107/3
67+2x+y=107
2x+y=40..........................(2)
from 1 and 2,we get,:
x+y-2x-y=25-40= -15
i.e. -x=-15
hence,x=15
thus, father's age= 15+30=45
then,his father's age=x+30, mom's age=y+25
[(x+30)+x+(25+y)+y]/4=26.25
55+2x+2y=105
2x+2y=50
x+y=25.............................(1)
after 4 years,
[(30+x+4)+x+4+(25+y+4)]/3=107/3
(67+2x+y)/3=107/3
67+2x+y=107
2x+y=40..........................(2)
from 1 and 2,we get,:
x+y-2x-y=25-40= -15
i.e. -x=-15
hence,x=15
thus, father's age= 15+30=45
hope that helps.....
