Ayesha’s father was 38 years old when she was born, while her mother was 36 years old when her brother, who is four years younger than Ayesha, was born. What is the difference between the ages of her parents?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → 6 years
Compare both parents at the same moment, Ayesha’s birth; the gap between two people never changes.
The brother was born 4 years after Ayesha
Mother at Ayesha’s birth \(=36-4=32\) years
Father at Ayesha’s birth \(=38\) years
Difference \(=38-32=6\) years
