Let the father's age when the brother was born be F, the mother's age be M, and Ravi's age be 0. Since the brother is 3 years older than Ravi, the mother was 26 when Ravi was born, making her age M = 26 - 3 = 23 when the brother was born. The sister was born when the father was 28, and since she was 4 years old when the brother was born, the father's age was F = 28 + 4 = 32. The respective ages of the father and mother were 32 years and 23 years.
