all children i.e 3 brothers and 2 sister irrespective of their marriage, have equal right in their mothers share of her ancestral property.

As your mother had died in the year 1991, section 8 of Hindu Succession Act, 2005 shall not be applicable but the share of your mother shall be divided among you brothers and sisters as per following formula ( I do presume that your father is no more):
Suppose your the share of your mother is 1 then your sisters jointly shall get 1/20 share each and rest of the share shall be divided among you 3 brothers equally.
