Simple..........
at the time of her brother's born
Ayesha's age 4yrs..(as he is 4yrs younger)
so father's age 38+4 = 42
mother's age is already given i.e. 36
so diff. is 6..

Let Ayesha's age be 'x'
Ayesha's father age = x+38
Brother is four year younger than Ayesha = x-4
Mother age = 36+x-4
When Ayesha was born father is 38,mother is 32
SO difference of father's age and mother's age is 6 .
Ayesha's father age = x+38
Brother is four year younger than Ayesha = x-4
Mother age = 36+x-4
When Ayesha was born father is 38,mother is 32
SO difference of father's age and mother's age is 6 .

Father was 38 year age when ayesha was born.
Age difference b/w ayesha and her brother was 4 year.
When her brother was born her mother age is 36 year.
Means when ayesha was born her mother age was.
36-4=32year.
Difference b/w her parents age is=38-32= 6 year.
Age difference b/w ayesha and her brother was 4 year.
When her brother was born her mother age is 36 year.
Means when ayesha was born her mother age was.
36-4=32year.
Difference b/w her parents age is=38-32= 6 year.

Let asha age is = x.
Her brother age is = x-4.
Difference between father & mother age = 2.
So, x-4 = 2.
x = 6.
Her brother age is = x-4.
Difference between father & mother age = 2.
So, x-4 = 2.
x = 6.

Mother age = 34.
And father age = 36.
Difference = (2).
Remaining is = (4) years not added to father.
Add them (4+2) = 6.
Then father age = 36+6 = 42.
And father age = 36.
Difference = (2).
Remaining is = (4) years not added to father.
Add them (4+2) = 6.
Then father age = 36+6 = 42.

Suppose Ayesha was born in year 1990.
Then acc. to question, her brother who is 4 years younger to her
Should have born in 1994.
Now her father's age in 1990: 38.
Therefore, her father's age in 1994: 38 + 4 = 42.
Thus difference between ages of parents in year 1994:
42(father's age) - 36(mother's age) = 6 years.
Then acc. to question, her brother who is 4 years younger to her
Should have born in 1994.
Now her father's age in 1990: 38.
Therefore, her father's age in 1994: 38 + 4 = 42.
Thus difference between ages of parents in year 1994:
42(father's age) - 36(mother's age) = 6 years.

When Aisa born his father was 38. After 4 year his brother was born, so father become 38+4=42.
Mother age when brother was born = 36.
So the difference when brother born 42-36 = 6 years.
Mother age when brother was born = 36.
So the difference when brother born 42-36 = 6 years.
