this is a easy question all the stuff was to make you hold paper and pen but in this question this is written that my brother is 4 years younger than my sister's age and the age of my father at my sister birth is 28 therefore the age of father at my brothers birth will be 28+4=32

let age of mother be x father (m) brother (b) sister (s)... from the question,we can make out the equations 

                m+3=b

                f-28=s.....................(1)

                  x-26=m

                     s-4=b......................(2)

from (2) we get s=b+4

giving the value in (1) we get

f-28=b+4

f-b=32
