Ayesha age is 4 years at the time of her bro born.
After 4 years of her birth her father age is: 38+4 = 42.
Ayesha mother age is 36 when her bro born.
Then: 42-36 = 6.
After 4 years of her birth her father age is: 38+4 = 42.
Ayesha mother age is 36 when her bro born.
Then: 42-36 = 6.

Ayesha father mother 0 38 not mentioned.
After 4 years brother born to Ayesha.
0+4, 38+4, 36 years (given).
Now difference between fathers and mothers age.

= 6 years.

See the @Virender rajput answer it is clear. In question they didn't give any pull stop(.) and comma(,) if you see care fully they gave the mother age is when her brother born means it is 36 but her father age at Ayesha's born so we have to add 4 years to father age.
I hope you guys got it.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Age difference b/w ayesha and her brother was 4 year.
When her brother was born her mother age is 36 year.

36-4=32year.
Difference b/w her parents age is=38-32= 6 year.
