Answer:

Explanation:

In order to find the answer, let's work backwards to find the original. We have to do the opposite to get to the Raju's age. We will start with his fathers age. (44) Then we will subtract five from it so that it will be divisible by three.

44 - 5 = 39

Then we just have to divide by 3.

44/3 = 13

His age is 13 years old.
