Aptitude - Problems on Ages - Discussion

Can anyone give little more explanation?

Present age of father is 38. 4 years back his age was 34.

So, The diff of their age is 2.

As we are taking about 4 year back.

So 4+2= 6.

When ayesha's mother was 36 her brother is 4yr younger to her.
When ayesha's was born her father's age is 38.

Now in this case we cal wats the diff of parents age:

So,36-4(mother's age-son's age)=32(mother's age 4yr back)
When ayesha's was born her parents age is-
38-32(faher- mother)= 6years(differ).

A simple query that why does the age of mother does not increase in you are explanation?

Just deduct 4 years from mothers age so as to obtain the age of the mother when ayesha was born . it comes out to be 32 ,so differences in the ages of father and mother is 38-32=6 years.

Ayesha's age=(38-x).....1st condition

Brother's age=(36-x)-4..........2nd condition

Take difference

Difference between parent age=
=(38-x)-{(36-x)-4}
= 6 years

Have nice day!

When her brother is younger to Ayesha, how can we subtract it from her mothers age? it (ie,4 years) must be added to her mothers age when her brother born to get mothers age when Ayesha born... can anyone explain ?

I think that when ayesha was born her dads age is 38 at that time her moms age must be 32 when her brother was born that is four years younger to her she might be of any age might be bigger to him by 1 year or could be in months like approximately 11 months and so many days so her brother is 4 years younger to her so add the year of her bro that is 4 years to her dads age 38+4=42 and her moms age 32 +4=36now when u less 42-36 u get 6 years!! its my assumption!!

Thaks pallavi.
