It should be 1954 Rahul is elder son to his mother, when his brother is born in 1964 so obviously he should born earlier i.e. 1954.

Hey Guys I will help you.
Suppose Rahul's mother age is 50.
So Rahul is 25.
And his brother is 15.
So brother was in born 1964.
So Rahul is older than brother.
That's why his birth age is less than brother.
Suppose Rahul's mother age is 50.
So Rahul is 25.
And his brother is 15.
So brother was in born 1964.
So Rahul is older than brother.
That's why his birth age is less than brother.
