Ayesha's father was 38 years of age when she was born while her mother was 36 years old when her brother four years younger to her was born. What is the difference between the ages of her parents?
Answer: Option
Explanation:
Mother's age when Ayesha's brother was born = 36 years.
Father's age when Ayesha's brother was born = (38 + 4) years = 42 years.
Required difference = (42 - 36) years = 6 years.

Fathers age - Mothers age -----> 38-36 = 2,
brothers age ---> (x-4),
so,
(x-4)=2,
x = 6.
brothers age ---> (x-4),
so,
(x-4)=2,
x = 6.

S=x,D=x+4,
F=x+4+38=42,
M=x+36,
F-M=x+42-x-36 = 6years.
F=x+4+38=42,
M=x+36,
F-M=x+42-x-36 = 6years.
