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.

Ayesha's father age = 38 (when she was born).
Ayesha's mother's age = 36 (when her brother born).
Her brother was 4 years younger than her. So, at that time her age 4 years.
Then her father age is also 4 years increase i.e 42.
42-36 = 6 years.
Ayesha's mother's age = 36 (when her brother born).
Her brother was 4 years younger than her. So, at that time her age 4 years.
Then her father age is also 4 years increase i.e 42.
42-36 = 6 years.

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 .

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 ?

Ayesha's mother was 36 years old when her brother four years younger to her means when Ayesha born her mother's age 36 - 4 = 32 years.
And when she born her father's age 38.
So, 38 - 32 = 6 years.
And when she born her father's age 38.
So, 38 - 32 = 6 years.

When the father's age is 38 Aysha's age 0.
When Mother's age is 36 Aysha's age 4.
So that when the father 38 then the mother 32,
So the difference between their parents is 38-32 = 6 years.
When Mother's age is 36 Aysha's age 4.
So that when the father 38 then the mother 32,
So the difference between their parents is 38-32 = 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.

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.

Simple,
When Ayesha was born, the father's age is 38.
When his brother 4 years younger than her sister mother's age is 36.
Then 4 years of the father's increasing,
So, 42 - 36,
6 yrs.
