    Olga has blood group type A with genotype IAi (heterozygous)

    Explanation:

    First Marriage:

    1st Husband-Type A (IAi) x Olga - Type A (IAi) = Child-Type O (ii)

    Second Marriage:

    2nd Husband-Type B (IBIB) x Olga - Type A (IAi) = Child-Type AB (IAIB)

    Olga genotype is heterozygous (IAi) this is why her children are having different blood group types.
