Question

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?

• A. 2 years
• B. 4 years
• C. 6 years
• D. 8 years
• E. 7 years

Answer 1

The correct option is C

6 years

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

$\therefore$ Required difference = (42 – 36) years = 6 years
