Mary:Mother = 1:2
Mary : Father = 1:3
i.e. Mary:Mother:Father = 1:2:3
Mary =10 years
Mary:Mother:Father = (10):(20):(30)
Answer: Option C
But the language seems very ambiguous because at the time of birth mary's age can't represent 1... Mary should be atleast 1 year old for this to be true

At the time of birth if the ratio between Mary's age and her mother's age was 1:2, then her mother must have been 2 years old, that is if we take Mary's age to be 1, which is not correct in itself. Either the question is wrong or it's wrongly worded.
