LET Sunita's brother's age = x years.
then according to question,
Sunita's age
= 5× her brother's age
=5x years.
Also given.
Her father's age is 27 more than her brother's age.
LET her father's age = y years.
Then her brother's age = y - 27
but we know her brother's age = x years
thus from above two equations we can say,
x= y-27
Also given, father's age =87 years.
thus y=87years
now we know
x= y-27, and y=87
thus
x= 87-27 years.
》x= 60 years.
Sunita's age =5x = 5×60 years. = 300 years.
*But it seems to be impossible as her age can't be greater than her father's age.

Step-by-step explanation:
fathers age= 87
brothers age=87-27=60
Sunithas age = 5*60=300
I think there is a mistake in the question. Because Sunithas age will not be more than her father.
