The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Daughter’s current age = 20. Mother’s current age = \( 2 \times 20 = 40 \). Father’s current age = \( 40 + 3 = 43 \). When daughter was born (20 years ago): Father’s age = \( 43 - 20 = 23 \) years — this matches option (d), so correct answer is (d) 23 yr.
