The answer to this question lies in the second book of the series titled as - The Chambers of Secrets. The phrase 'I Am Lord Voldemort' can be treated as an anagram and re-written as 'Tom Marvalo Riddle'. Further in the book, it is explained that Voldemort changed his name because he wanted to distance himself from his father and muggles.

Solution:

Let us denote the number of boys as 'p' and the number of girls as 'q'.

The first statement says that each boy has equal numbers of brothers and sisters
(p - 1) = q
=> p - q = 1 ------- (a)

The second statement says that every girl has twice as many brothers as that of sisters
2 (q - 1) = p
=> 2q - p = 2 ------- (b)

By solving (a) and (b)
We get q as 3 and p as 4.

Therefore, there are 4 boys and 3 girls in the family.

Since both of them lied in all three statements, this means that the opposite is true. So the changed statements will be:

Poornima: I am surely over 30.
Riya: I am not 28 and you are at most 4 years older to me.
Poornima: You are at most 28.

Poornima is 31 years old at least as can be concluded from the first statement. Combining the second and the third statement, we can accomplish that Riya is at most 28 years old. Hence, the possible ages of Poornima and Riya can be:

Poornima: 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36...
Riya: 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27...

Now, reading the second statement again, we can conclude that the difference between the ages of Poornima and Riya is at max 4 years.
This brings us the result that Poornima is 31 years old whereas Riya is 27 years old.
