Answer:

40 year old.

Explanation:

Karma’s age is 2 years less than three eights of her father’s age.

Let, Age of Karma's father is x years old.

Now, according to the condition, y= Karma's age= 3/8x- 2 = 13

Or, 13+2 = 3/8x

Or, 15 X 8 = 3x

or, 120 = 3x

Or, x= 40

So, the Age of Karma's father is 40 years old.
