Solution

The correct option is C 6 years
Pia's father's age when she was born = 38

We know that Pia's brother is 4 years younger than Pia.
So, Pia was 4 years old when her brother was born.

Age of her father = 38 + 4 = 42
Age of her mother = 36

Difference between her parents' ages = Age of her father – Age of her mother
i.e., 42 – 36 = 6 years

Pia's father is 6 years older than her mother.
