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.

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).
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).

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.
So, The diff of their age is 2.
As we are taking about 4 year back.
So 4+2= 6.
