Suppose this function is identical for two brothers, and it monotonically increases till the age of $50$ years and then it monotonically decreases. Let $a_{1}$ and $a_{2}$ (in years) denote the ages of the brothers and $a_{1} < a_{2}$

Which one of the following statements is correct about their age on the day when they attain the same weight?
