Detailed Solution

Let the present age of Amulya’s be x
Her age 5 years ago should be (x−5) years.
The age of Amulya is (x−5) years given that x > 5, otherwise her age will be 0 or negative which means she was half with her mother and half with her father and the age of each half of Amulya is (y−13), where y is the age of her father or mother.
So if x < 5, any value of y for any of her parent’s age will give the age of respective half, given that
The age of Amulya 5 years ago should be (x−5) years.
Hence, option (3) is the correct option.
